Maintenance
General Maintenance
To ensure efficient operation, you should inspect, lubricate,
and make necessary adjustments and repairs at regular
intervals. Parts that are starting to show wear should be
ordered ahead of time, before a costly breakdown occurs
and you have to wait for replacement parts. Keep good
maintenance records, and adequately clean your draper
windrower after each use.
Maintenance of any type on equipment is dangerous
when the machine is running.
DANGEr: Always shut-down all equipment
prior to cleaning, adjusting, lubricating or
performing service of any kind. Review and
become familiar with the “Mandatory Shut-
Down Procedure” before attempting any
service work.
When reassembling components, always use new lock
nuts and a thread-locking compound to insure against
vibration loosening. Use an anti-seize compound on all
bearing/shaft contacts.

Lubrication
Proper lubrication is important. Too little lubricant will
cause premature failure of a bearing. Too much lubrication
usually causes high operating temperature and early
failure of seals. Follow all lubrication instructions and
schedules included in this section.
The operation and component lifetimes of this machine
are very dependent on regular and proper lubrication.
The frequency of lubrication recommended is based on
normal conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may
determine actual service requirements.
