Service Intervals - MacDon D65 Operator's Manual

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.
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):
Lubricate every 10 hours or daily.
Knifehead:
Lubricate every 25 hours.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent binding and/or excessive wear caused by knife
pressure on the guards, do NOT overgrease 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. For instructions, refer to
Bearing, page 140.
NOTE:
After greasing, run the header and check if the first few knife
guards feel excessively hot. If the knife guards are too hot,
relieve knife pressure on the guards by pressing the check-ball in
the grease fitting.
