Figure 4.5: Feed Draper Idler Roller
IMPORTANT:
When greasing, clear any debris, and excess grease from around
the bearing housing. Inspect the condition of the roller and
bearing housing. Grease the feed draper idler roller bearing until
grease comes out of the seal. Initial greasing on a new header
may require additional grease (may require 5-10 pumps). Wipe
any excess grease from area after greasing.
Every 25 Hours
Regular maintenance is required to keep your machine operating at peak performance. It also allows you to do a visual
inspection of the machine that may help identify issues early.
Use high temperature extreme pressure (EP2) performance grease with 1% max molybdenum disulphide (NLGI Grade 2)
lithium base unless otherwise specified.

Figure 4.6: Knifehead
Lubricate knifehead (A) every 25 hours. Check for signs of
excessive heating on the first few guards after greasing. If
required, relieve the pressure by pressing the check-ball in the
grease fitting.
IMPORTANT:
Overgreasing the knifehead puts pressure on the knife, causing it
to rub against the guards, resulting in excessive wear from
binding. Do
NOT
overgrease the knifehead. Apply only one to
two pumps using a mechanical grease gun (do
NOT
use an
electric grease gun). If more than six to eight pumps of the
grease gun are required to fill the cavity, replace the seal in the
knifehead. For instructions, refer to
