4. Boom Swivel and Barrell Assembly Bearings
(figure 4.3d): These bearings are on most of ODB's
model leaf machines after 1996. Grease the boom
bearings once every week with a multi-purpose mois-
ture resistant #2 grease.
5. PTO Bearing & PTO Shaft Fitting (figure 4.3e): The
PTO crossover shaft and linkage should be lubricated
with high temperature lithium base #2 lubricant after
200 hours of operation.
6. Hinge and Friction Points: Leaf vacuum operation
and longevity can be improved by keeping hinges and
friction points lubricated. ODB recommends that lubri-
caton be performed weekly. Use SAE30 weight oil on
hinges and a premium grade, high temperature lithium
based EP#2 grease on friction points.
7. Parking Jack (figure 4.3f): Remove the top cover and
lubricate the gears inside with a standard gear grease.
This should be done at the beginning of each season.
Proper lubrication will make hitching the leaf collector
much easier.
