Lubricating the Cam Shaft
Once a week, lubricate the camshaft as follows:

source.
2. Loosen the wing nut that holds the crown
bearing in place.

grade grease to the camshaft through the
opening between the trip arms.

crown bearing in place.
Lubricating the Gears and the

level of the oil and, if necessary, add oil, as
follows:
1. Make sure the F machine is mounted in the
upright operating position.
2. Remove the plug from the fill hole.

gearbox until it begins to overflow.
5. Allow the excess oil to drain out of the hole.
6. Replace the plug.
7. Wipe the oil off of the gearbox exterior.
Every Six Months
Every six months replace the oil in the gearbox
as follows:
1. Remove the trip arm guard, hopper, and
plunger.
2. Lift the frame assembly off of the pivot arm
pin.
3. Remove the plug from the fill hole.
4. Allow the oil to drain from the gearbox into
a suitable container.
5. Recycle or dispose of the used oil properly.
6. Pump 90-weight oil into the gearbox until it
begins to overflow.
7. Allow the excess oil to drain out of the hole.

arm pin.

guard.
Storing the Cutter
If the cutter is to be stored for any length of time,
please use the following procedure:
Store the cutter upright. If it cannot be stored
upright, drain the oil from the gear box. (The
gearbox is not “watertight,” and should not be
sprayed with water for cleaning purposes).
