Grease
CAUTION: To prevent possible injury while
working in the arm capture zones or the saw bar
opening, follow safety precautions. Lower the
harvester head to the ground and stop the
engine.
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. Consult your
authorized Waratah dealer if in doubt.
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.
