The minimum torque for tightening hardware is shown below:
•

Lubricate all moving parts. The 4 grease points (A/B/C/D) are shown below:
When the Tree Shear is dry, check places where paint is scratched or worn and repaint.
•
Apply antirust oil to surface where necessary.
•
Store the Tree Shear in shed and dry place.
•
If not functioning properly, always tag “DO NOT OPERATE” until all problems are
corrected.
•
Never make hydraulic repairs while the system is under pressure. Serious personal
injury or death could result.
•
Regular and proper lubrication all of moving parts with a quality lubricant is needed for
efficient operation of your machine. Neglect leads to reduced efficiency, heavy draft,
wear, breakdown, and needless replacement parts.
•
All parts provided with grease fittings should be lubricated as indicated. If any grease
fittings are missing, replace them immediately. Clean all fittings thoroughly before using
the grease gun.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid excessive greasing. Dirt collects on exposed grease and greatly increases
wear. After greasing wipe off excessive grease from fittings. When the Tree Shear is dry, check
places where paint is scratched or worn and repaint.
EVERY 8 HOURS OF OPERATION
•
Grease all swivel points thoroughly. Excessive wear and even mechanical damage to pins
and cylinders can result from inadequate lubrication. Lubricate all grease fittings with
SAE Multi-Purpose grease.
•
Check all nuts and bolts; tighten if loose.
•
Visually inspect the machine for worn parts or cracked welds. Repair or replace as
necessary.
