MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
GREASING THE HEADER
See "Recommended Lubricants" in this section for recommended
greases.
The following greasing points are marked on the header by decals
showing a grease gun (A), and grease interval (B) in hours of operation.
Use the hour meter in the combine cab and the "Maintenance Checklist"
provided to keep a record of scheduled maintenance.
Procedure:
1. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing, to avoid
injecting dirt and grit.
2. Inject grease through fitting with grease gun until grease overflows fitting.
3. Leave excess grease on fitting to keep out dirt.
4. Replace any loose or broken fittings immediately.
5. If fitting will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passageway. Replace
fitting if necessary.
DANGER: Stay clear of driveline
until all movement has stopped.
Entanglement with rotating driveline
will cause serious personal injury or death.
Avoid loose fitting or dangling clothing.
