Figure 10c: Front bearing grease points on central greasing manifold
27
All MechFiber340 and MechFiber360 feeders are tted with a central greasing
manifold as standard which covers all the inaccessible grease points around the
drive system of the machine. This manifold groups bearing grease points B, C,
F & M along with pivot point grease points N, O, P & R into one location, which
is to the lower right of the input shaft.
An instruction decal is tted above the manifold detailing the greasing interval
(40 hours) and the amount of grease to be applied to each point (see below). All
other bearings & pivot points not serviced by this manifold should receive 3cc
(5g/0.175oz) of grease at the same 40 hour intervals.

APPLY GREASE AT 40 HOUR INTERVALS
PIVOT POINTS
3 pumps / 3 cc
5 grams / 0.175 oz
LARGE BEARINGS
4 pumps / 4 cc
7.2 grams / 0.26 oz
MEDIUM BEARINGS
3 pumps / 3 cc
5 grams / 0.175 oz
SMALL BEARINGS
1 pump / 1 cc
2 grams / 0.035oz.
Note 1 pump/stroke of manual grease gun typically produces 1cc of grease
2. Pivot points
After every 40 hours of operation apply grease to the following pivot points through grease ttings.
Grease point I VFC door ram top pin (front) see gure 11a
Grease point J VFC door ram lower pin (front) see gure 11a
Grease point K VFC door ram top pin (rear) see gure 11a
Grease point L VFC door ram lower pin (rear) see gure 11a
Check the VFC door is able to move freely each day and grease as appropriate.
Grease point N Secondary drive tensioner arm pivot see gure 11b & 11c
Grease point O Primary drive tensioner lower spring see gure 11b & 11c
seat tube pivot
Grease point P Primary drive tensioner spring seat see gure 11b & 11c
tube/shaft
Grease point Q Primary drive tensioner arm pivot see gure 11b & 11c
Grease point R Input shaft housing pivot pin see gure 11b & 11c
