MAINTENANCE:
This tool is a fine cutting instrument with many moving parts. The
better it is cared for, the better it will continue to perform in the field. Periodic cleaning
and sharpening as well as careful storage are crucial to keeping it in working order and
ready when you need it.
1.
Lubrication:
For convenience we have
included a small amount of food grade
lubricant with your harvester. The blade
should be lubricated before first use and
periodically thereafter. We would suggest
lubricating it every time you re-dress (not
field sharpen) the blade. An MSDS sheet
for the lubricant is attached to these
instructions for your information.
Stop!
Ensure that the blade guard is
installed before you proceed.
a.
Remove the blade
guide pin and pivot
the blade forward.
This will leave the
blade guide slot
accessible for
oiling.
b.
Slide the tip of the
lubrication bottle
along the slot and
squeeze the bottle
slightly to drizzle oil
into it. Also oil the
blade slide bearing
(C) at the right end
of the blade.
c.
Re-install the blade
and guide pin. Use
a rag to wipe off
any excess oil.
