RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS

GREASE
Use an SAE Multi-Purpose High Temperature Grease with Extreme Pressure (EP2) Performance and
containing a maximum of 1% moly (molybdenum disulphide).
For driveline slip-joints only, increased moly content (up to 10%) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Do not
use this higher moly content grease on bearings, as it may cause excessive wear in high speed applications.
GEAR LUBRICANT
Wobble Box and Hay Conditioner Gear Case: Use SAE 85W-140 gear lube (API Service Class. GL-5)
Auger Drive Gear Case: Use grease as specified above.
CAPACITIES
Wobble Box – 2.2 litres (2.3 U.S. quarts)
Hay Conditioner Gear Case - 1100 ml (1.2 U.S. quart)
Auger Drive Gear Case - 600 grams (1.5 tubes)
STORING LUBRICANTS
Your machine can operate at top efficiency only if clean lubricants are used. Use clean containers to
handle all lubricants. Store them in an area protected from dust, moisture and other contaminants.

SEALED BEARING INSTALLATION

1. Clean shaft and coat with rust preventative.
2. Install flangette, bearing, flangette and lock
collar. The locking cam is only on one side of
the bearing.
3. Install (but do not tighten) the flangette bolts.
4. When the shaft is located correctly, lock the
lock collar with a punch. The collar should be
locked in the same direction the shaft rotates.
Tighten the setscrew in the collar.
5. Tighten the flangette bolts.
6. Loosen the flangette bolts on the mating
bearing one turn and re-tighten. This will allow
the bearing to line up.
