5.1 SERVICE

5.1.1 FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

1. GreaseUse an SAE multi-purpose high temperature grease with extreme pressure (EP) performance.Also acceptable is an SAE multi-purpose lithium base grease.

2. Storing LubricantsYour machine can operate at top efficiency only clean lubricants are used. Use clean containers handle all lubricants. Store them in an area pro-tected from dust, moisture and other contami-nants.

5.1.2 GREASING

Refer to Section 5.1.1 for recommended grease.Use the Maintenance Checklist provided to keep arecord of all scheduled maintenance.

1. Use only a hand-held grease gun for all greas-ing. Air powered greasing systems can damage the seals on bearings and lead to early bearing failure.

2. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth beforegreasing to avoid injecting dirt and grit.

3. Replace and repair broken fittings immedi-ately.

4. If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passage. Replace fitting if necessary.

5. Do not give sealed bearings more than 1 shot of grease every 3 months.

SECTION 5 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE SAFETY

IMPORTANTOver-greasing may damage bearing seals. If seals

are damaged, replace bearing immediately.

Sealed bearings are used in several places on thismachine. All sealed bearings are lubricated at thefactory. The seals retain the grease inside the bear-ing and prevent dirt and other contaminants from get-ting inside. The life of the seal is virtually limitlessprovided it is not damaged in any way.

When sealed bearings are greased, the grease isintroduced next to the outer face of the seal. When ahand-held grease gun is used, the grease slips innext to the seal without damaging it. Should a sealbe damaged, the factory installed grease will comeout and the bearing runs dry. Seizing will then occurin a short time. If you notice that a seal is damaged,replace the bearing immediately to prevent problemsat a later time.

Occasional greasing of sealed bearings is required toremove moisture and contaminants from the spacenext to the seals. It is not recommended that sealedbearings on the machine be greased no more thanevery 50 operating hours and then only give themone shot. More frequent lubrication runs the risk ofdamaging the seals and causing bearing failure. Theexception to this rule is at the beginning and the endof a season. At those times, each bearing should begiven only one shot of grease to remove moisture orwater next to the seal that can accumulate duringwashing or storage.

5.1.3 SERVICING INTERVALS
