Lubrication
1.
A proper maintenance schedule will insure a long
operating life and peak performance. Performing the
following lubrication will ensure maximum operating
life of the Field Cultivator
(See Table 4-1 and Figure
2.
When lubricating the Field Cultivator, SAE
multi-purpose EP grease, or EP grease with 3-5%
molybdenum sulfide is recommended. Wipe soil from
fittings before greasing. Replace any lost or broken
fittings immediately.
3.
Wheel seals, when properly installed, will allow
grease to pass without harm to seals. Regular
lubrication will extend service life, particularly in
severe operating conditions.
4.
The Field Cultivator is equipped with
maintenance-free bearings in the wheel lifts,
self-leveler, and wing hinges. These areas require no
lubrication.
