Grease
CAUTION: Prevent possible injury working in
the arm capture zones or the saw bar opening
while the hydraulic system is active. Stop the
engine. Failure to follow the safety precautions
can lead to risk of serious injury.
NOTE: Consult your authorized Waratah dealer
or oil 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. Follow the points below
strictly 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 make sure
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, which can cause ill effects.
5. When shipped, the carrier is lubricated with the brand
marked in the recommended oil table. If you use
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.
Extreme cold conditions increase the lubrication
intervals.
Refer to table for suitable grease.
