LUBRICATION
GREASE FITTINGS
Lubricate all grease fittings every 40 hours of operation.
(See Maintenance
and Lubrication Chart - Section 5)
BUCKET CHAINS
should be sprayed with penetrating oil twice a year. Cover the chains with oil
or grease before storing for the off-season.
CHAIN CASE ROLLER CHAIN
should be oiled after every 200 hours of use.
TURNBUCKLES
should be cleaned and re-greased at the end of the season. In severe rusting
areas this should be done more frequently.
PINS
Cylinder and moldboard pins should be spot lubricated with oil every 4 weeks.
CYLINDERS
Cylinder tops should be wiped clean and spot lubricated with penetrating oil every
100 hours and at the end of the season.
CONVEYOR CHAIN
It is recommended that the Conveyor Chain be run dry. Lubricants will case
sand to adhere and speed up wear. A dry graphite lubricant may also be used. Occasionally,
especially after a period of disuse, light penetrating oil may be applied. Prior to winter storage,
heavier oil may be applied to avoid rusting.
