THE RECOMMENDED GREASE AND OIL CHANGE PERIODS ARE BASED ON NORMAL
FIELD AND WORK CONDITIONS.
SEVERE OR UNUSUAL CONDITIONS MAY REQUIRE MORE FREQUENT LUBRICATION
OR OIL CHANGES.
RESPECT SPECIFIED OIL QUANTITIES AND GRADES : SAE 80 W EP (GL4) OIL
ONLY.
GREASE FITTINGS
Clean fittings before applying grease. Oil all pivot and
linkage points every fifty hours.
Grease breakaway sliding components as required.
Lubricate the PTO shaft at the hourly intervals indicated
in figure 1 with SHELL Multi-Purpose grease NLGI
grade 2
ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
Adjust machine to clear obstructions and debris. Foreign objects and other debris can be
deflected toward the operator and bystanders.
1. Discs and knives
To replace or turn over knives, first clean the area
around nut (A) (photo 38) and remove nut with the box
spanner supplied with the machine.
Ensure securing elements are in good condition and fit
knives so that the arrow on their upper face is pointing
in the direction of rotation of the disc it is fitted to.
Torque locknut to 12 daNm (90 ft.lbs).
Discs, knives and securing elements are manufac-
tured from high quality steel and have been subjected
to a heat-treatment to assure a high resistance to
wear.
Worn or damaged items must immediately be re-
placed with genuine KUHN parts as otherwise war-
ranty will be withdrawn.
CAUTION :
ONLY USE GENUINE KUHN
SPARE PARTS.
Worn knives should either be turned over on the same
disc to use the other cutting edge, or replaced. When
turning or replacing the knifes, make sure there is a 1
mm minimum gap between the knives or their mount-
ing bolts and the cutterbar wear plates. If otherwise,
insert one (maximum two) distance spacer(s) (code
568 071 00) between the discs and the disc bearing
stations (see fig. 2, page 29). Dull knives require more
horse power to cut the crop and will leave an uneven
stubble.
(In certain countries SAE 80 W EP (GL4) oil may not be available. In this case a GL 4 or GL 5 grade SAE 80 W
90 oil may be used as a replacement. Never use a straight EP 90 oil).
