FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Lubricants
Effective use of lubricating oils and greases is
perhaps the most important step toward low upkeep
cost, long mower-conditioner life, and satisfactory
service. Use only the lubricants specified. Apply
them at the intervals listed in this manual.
Greases
SAE multipurpose-type grease is recommended for
all grease fittings. Wheel bearing grease is
recommended for the wheel bearings. Application of
grease as detailed in this section will provide proper
lubrication and will keep contamination out of the
bearings.

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION
STORING LUBRICANTS
The pivot tongue mower-conditioner can only
operate at proper efficiency if clean lubricants are
used. Use clean containers to handle all lubricants.
Store them in an area protected from dust, moisture,
and other contamination.
IMPORTANT: Keep lubricants clean! Use only
high-grade lubricants which have been stored in
clean containers. Wipe away all grease and dirt
before removing filler caps or plugs.
