GREASE FITTINGS
If your Tedder is lubricated properly and often enough, it will prolong the life of your rake. Grease
daily during normal use and before and after storage and after power washing. Use a good grade of
high quality grease. Make sure that grease comes out around the shaft on sleeve type bearings. Wipe
off excessive grease to prevent accumulation of chaff or grit around the bearing.
Replace any missing
or plugged grease fittings.

Become familiar with all lubrication points and establish a routine to ensure complete
lubrication of the Tedder.
GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Catch and dispose of fluid per local waste disposal regulations whenever service is
performed on hydraulic components, valves, cylinders, hoses, etc.
WHEEL BEARING LUBRICATION/CLEAN/RE-PACK/ADJUSTMENT
Grease wheel bearings as needed depending on amount of travel.
Annually disassemble and clean parts in a solvent. Pack bearings
with a high grade grease. Reassemble, and tighten nut until a slight
drag is felt when wheel is turned. Back nut off and insert cotter pin
into first hole that you see as you back the nut off, bend cotter pin
over and re-install cap.
LUBRICATION
PTO ASSEMBLY
Care must be taken to keep the male and female driving elements well lubricated and free sliding. Failure
to observe this precaution will result in excessive pressure being required to collapse and extend the
assembly while subject to operating torque. This excessive force may damage the PTO assembly. DO
NOT lubricate the shield surfaces, the shields must be kept dry, as dirt accumulation on them will cause
these units to bind and not slide.
