CAUTION: Prevent possible injury working in
the arm capture zones or the saw bar opening
while the hydraulic system is active by stopping
the engine. Failure to follow these safety
precautions may lead to serious injury.
NOTE: Consult your authorized Waratah dealer.
The greases recommended are subject to change
due to oil company circumstances. Waratah strongly
recommends you use the same grease as installed
at manufacture, or substitute for a similar lithium
complex-based grease of grade NLGI #1.
The standard of greasing plays an important role in
determining the working life of the harvester head.
Regular greasing, done properly, reduces wear on rotating
and sliding parts and promises smooth operation. It also
delivers safety and economy. Strictly adhere to the points
below, and observe the set intervals.
1. Before greasing, clean the grease nipples and their
surroundings thoroughly, so there is no opportunity for
water or debris to enter.
2. Unless stated otherwise, inject grease forcing the old
grease out and fill all pins, bushes, and bearings with
new grease. After greasing, move the joints without
load to spread the grease.
3. Use the grease specified for each individual location,
and, when you top up with extra grease, ensure you
use the same brand and grade of grease as the
original.
4. Mixing greases of different brands or grades can
cause chemical reactions, and the grease will not have
the required lubricating effect, resulting in ill effects.
5. When shipped, the carrier is lubricated with the brand
marked in the recommended oil table. If you use a
different lubricant, change the entire volume to avoid
mixing.
6. The lubrication intervals are set to be appropriate for
this harvester head under normal conditions. If you
are using it under extremely harsh or extreme hot
conditions, you should reduce the lubrication intervals.
For extreme cold conditions, increase the lubrication
intervals.
Refer to the table below for suitable grease.
