LUBRICATION
PROPELLING GEARBOX
Check the lubricant level in the propelling gearbox
every 100 hours of operation. Change the gear
lubricant, and the drain and fill-level plug seals
after the first 50 hours of operation, and then
every 800 hours of operation. Use SAE 90 weight
gear lubricant.
REAR WHEEL SUPPORT BEARING
The rear wheel support has two grease fittings for
the bearing. Raise the machine so the rear wheel
support assembly is off the floor. Fill one of the
grease fittings while rotating the gearbox from
stop to stop. Fill the second grease fitting while
rotating the gearbox back to the original position.
The bearing cavity is full when grease comes out
of the fittings or out of the top seal. Lubricate with
Lubriplate EMB grease (TENNANT part no.
01433--1) every 200 hours of operation or after
steam cleaning the gearbox area.
HOPPER BEARINGS
The hopper pivots on the hopper bearings
whenever the hopper is raised or emptied. The
hopper bearings must be lubricated after every
200 hours of operation. Use Lubriplate EMB
grease (TENNANT part no. 01433--1).
