Lubrication Service Schedule
IMPORTANT:
Your grain cart has grease fittings at all critical points. These should be serviced before the grain cart is put into operation.
WARNING
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAIN CART
PTO & DRIVELINE:
The grease fittings on the PTO should be serviced after every 8 hours of use. Service the grease fittings on each of
the drive bearings and also the universal joint after every 8 hours of use.
AUGER FOLDING MECHANISM:
One grease fitting is located on the pivot pin of the folding auger. This fitting should be serviced after
every 8 hours of use. Service the grease fitting on the hanger bushing assembly (top end of the lower auger assembly) after every 8
hours of use or as needed.
SPRING LOADED UPPER AUGER BEARING:
Service the grease fitting on the upper auger bearing (located at the top end of the upper
auger assembly) after every 8 hours of use. Lubricate the springs and retaining bolts on the bearing before prolonged storage of the
grain cart.
GEARBOX:
Gearbox lubricant has been added to the gearbox during final assembly. Recheck the lubricant level before initial operation of
the grain cart, then periodically according to use. The fluid level should rest at the inspection plug, pictured in blue below. When filled to
the proper level, the gearbox should have 96 ounces of
SAE 80W-90
lubricant. Change the oil annually before use.
