LUBRICATION
:
A properly maintained lubrication schedule will provide a smooth running machine for
many years. All pivot locations have grease fittings. The following information shows
and describes where all lubrication points are located.

GREASING SCHEDULE & LOCATION
BLADE SPINDLE GREASING:
TDR-12 (Up to SN 1412037*)
TDR-15 (Up to SN 1415136*)
The top bearing on all spindle assemblies has a shield only. This allows grease to exit
and relieves any pressure build up inside spindle housing, when greasing. Greasing of
blade spindles should continue until grease can be seen exiting between the top
bearing. Some working conditions will require this operation to take place every 4 to
5 running hours because of hot working areas. Cooler working areas will only require
greasing every 8 to 10 hours. A proper greasing schedule can only be determined by
operator, depending on working conditions in your particular area.
*-for SN above these ranges, maintenance free spindle bearings are standard
equipment. No external lubrication is required for these bearings
