MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
Warning! Never use your hands to locate a
hydraulic leak. Use a piece of wood
or cardboard. Hydraulic fluid
escaping under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
Warning! Openings in the skin and minor cuts
are susceptible to infection from
hydraulic fluid. If injured by escaping
fluid, see a doctor at once. Without
immediate medical treatment,
serious infection can occur.
Warning! Securely block machine before
servicing. Never work under a raised
machine.
ROLLERS
For maximum roller life, the rollers need to touch
each other across the gangs. This adjustment is
made by loosening the u-bolts which attach the
bearing standards. The bearing lock collars must
also be loosened. Bump the standard and the u-bolt
toward the center of the machine until the rollers
touch each other. Retighten the bearing lock collars.
Retighten the u-bolts to at least 150 foot pounds of
torque. Be careful not to put an end thrust or side
load on the bearings.
This adjustment will need to be made twice during
the first 200 acres of operation. After the initial
adjustments have been made, inspect the packer
routinely and adjust rollers when necessary.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the gang bearings every 40 hours with a
high quality SAE lithium base multi-purpose grease.
Do not over grease. Excess grease will attract
contaminates.
