Grease Schedule; Storage - Alamo GREATWHITE 7600A Operator's Manual

Grease Schedule

1. Grease should meet the following recommendations:
SAE Multi purpose grease
SAE Multi purpose grease containing 3 to 5 per cent molybdenum disulfide
Below 0 o C (32 o F) use SAE (NLGI) #0 or #1
Above 0 o C (32 o F) use SAE (NLGI) #2
2. Drive Chain
The Drive Chain is operating in an oil bath. Check level using a dip stick. Complete assembly contains 5 gallons
of SAE #5 wt. oil. Add if necessary.
3. Universal Joint Assemblies
Apply grease to the grease nipple on the slip sleeve of the universal assembly every 5 hours of operation.
NOTE: The snow blower may have to be raised or lowered and the safety shields rotated to fully expose the grease
nipple.
Occasionally pull the driveline halves apart and apply grease to all sides of the spline shaft.
IMPORTANT: If the universal joint sliding members are allowed to dry out to the point where two halves cannot
slip freely, damage to the snow blower or tractor may occur.
4. Universal Joint Cross Kits
Every 10 hours of operation (minimum) lubricate-ate the grease fittings on the universal joint cross kits. If grease
is seen leaking out of the cross kit bearings, this is an indication that bearings are running hot. Under these
conditions regrease the cross kits more frequently.
Apply only one or two strokes from a hand type grease gun. If fittings are over lubricated seals may be damaged.
Grease to the entire under side of the chute.

STORAGE

Wash any dirt or salt off the snow blower.
Remove drive chains and submerse in oil
Smear grease over any exposed hydraulic cylinder shafts
