FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Hydraulic Oil:
Use an ISO grade 36 hydraulic oil for all operating conditions
(Hydrex MV36 or comparable).
Storing Lubricants:
Your machine can operate at top efficiency only if clean lu -
bricants are used.
Use clean containers to handle all lubricants. Store them in
an area protected from dust, moisture and other contami -
nants.
Make certain that all containers are properly marked to
Identify their contents.
Grease:
Use an SAE multipurpose high temperature grease with ex -
treme pressure (EP) performance. Also acceptable, SAE
multipurpose lithium based grease.
Other greases may be used if they meet the following:
• NLGI Performance Classification GC-LB
• ISO-L-X-BDHB 2 or DIN KP 2 N-10 Lithium Complex
-
Non-Synthetic Base Oil (100 to 220 mm2/s @ 40°C)
Greasing
Use the Maintenance Chart provided on page
(See “MAIN-
TENANCE CHART” on page 5-5)
to keep a record of all
scheduled maintenance.
1. Use only a hand-held grease gun for all greasing. An
air-powered greasing system can damage the seals on
bearings and lead to early failures.
2. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing to
avoid injecting dirt and grit.
3. All roller bearings are sealed and not greasable, only the
wheel hubs are greasable. They require minimal lubri -
cant. Recommended greasing is 1 small stroke every 2
weeks. Be careful not to over-grease, as this may push
the seal out.
4. Replace and repair broken fittings immediately.
5. If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean thorough
-
ly. Also clean lubricant passageway. Replace fitting if
necessary.
SERVICING INTERVALS
Make sure your Kwik-Till is ready to go to the field when
you are. Perform the service and maintenance procedures
that are recommended in this section to prepare for the next
season. Careful maintenance preparation will save time and
expense as you enter the busy season.
The periods recommended on page (See “MAINTENANCE
CHART” on page 5-5) are based on normal operating con-
ditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre -
quent lubrication and oil changes.
Schedules may vary depending on equipment options con -
tained in the present unit.
