Service Intervals

Refer to the illustrations on the following pages to identify the various locations that require lubrication and
servicing. Illustrations are organized by the frequency of service that is required.
IMPORTANT:
Unless otherwise specified, use high temperature extreme pressure (EP2) performance with 1% maximum
molybdenum disulphide (NLGI grade 2) lithium base.
Knife: Except in sandy conditions.
Knifehead:
NOTE:
To prevent binding and/or excessive wear caused by
knife pressure on the guards, do NOT over grease the
knifehead (A). Apply only one to two pumps using a
mechanical grease gun (do NOT use an electric grease
gun). If more than six to eight pumps of the grease gun
are required to fill the cavity, replace the seal in the
knifehead. Refer to 5.5.3 Removing Knifehead Bearing,
page 129.
NOTE:
Check for signs of excessive heating on first few guards
after greasing. If required, relieve pressure by pressing
check-ball in grease fitting.
