SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
dailY
Lubricate PTO cross journals (Figure 52). Make sure grease
purges through all four bearings.
eveRY 16 houRS
Lubricate PTO inner tubes (Figure 52). Telescoping members
must have lubrication to operate successfully. Telescoping mem-
bers without fittings should be pulled apart and grease should
be added manually with a brush.
eveRY 40 houRS
Lubricate the PTO shield retaining bearing (Figure 52). Molded
nipples on the guard near each guard bearing are intended as
grease fittings and should be lubricated every 40 hours of op
-
eration.
Lubricate the PTO disconnect mechanism.

Every 40 hours the tension of the idler gears should be checked.
If the tension between the idler gears and internal gear sections
of the reel bat arm assembly has any radial movement it will be
necessary to make adjustments. When adjusting the tension of
the idler to internal gears, follow this procedure.
Loosen the 3/8” locknuts which are on the idler gear assembly

tubing and the idler gears. Apply approx. 5 lbs of force to
slide the gear away from the manifold (Figure 53).
Tighten the 3/8” locknuts to their specified torque.

Rotate the reel arm assemblies to ensure they turn freely.

6.6 idleR GeaR TenSion
Place all controls in neutral or off, stop combine engine, set
parking brake, remove ignition key, wait for all moving parts
to stop, then properly block machine before servicing, ad-
justing, repairing, or unplugging.
WaRninG
Do not grease pinion or idler gears on the reel. Drive shaft
bearings on the reel are sealed and do not need lubrication.
If worn or damaged, replace as required
