PROBLEM

11. Excessive machine vibration.

There are certain things which need daily or regular attention to keep your combine in good operating condition.

LUBRICATION is the most important of these. The following chart shows points that require lubrication and

the intervals at which they require it. The cylinder bearings on the combine are pre-lubed and cannot be relubri-

cated. This is because most often these bearings are over greased. This attracts dust and dirt to the seals of the

bearings which eats them away and allows the dirt to penetrate the bearing and cause it to fail. Also improper

cleaning of the grease fitting allows dirt to be pumped directly into the bearing which causes premature failure.
