grease.
Drive chains:
Keep the automatic oiler reservoir (where tted) full of SAE 10 oil. Check the
condition of primary and secondary chain tensioner arms.
Tyres:
Check that tyres are inated to the recommended pressures and make sure
the wheel nuts are tight.
Chain tensions:
Grease the pivot points on the primary and secondary chain tensioner
mechanisms.
Axle U-bolts:
Check axle U-bolt torque settings (tandem only).
Oiler pipes:
Check hoses for damage or leaks.
Monthly
BaleBlend:
Grease each Tine pivot & check the Tines for looseness.
Tine buer:
Check for cracks, splits or degradation.
Yearly (end of season)
Drive chains:
Remove both chains; wash o all dirt and old oil using paran, then dry.
Soak both chains in oil overnight or longer if possible.
Idler & auger shaft front Bearing:
Remove and pack with grease.
Overall Machine:
Before storage, wash the complete machine, then grease or oil all weekly
lubrication points as above. Open the drain bung in the mixing hopper.
Check tyre pressures. Store the machine under cover or under a tarpaulin,
if possible.
Electronic weighbox:
If the machine is to be stored, remove the weighbox unit from the machine
and keep in a dry place. Lightly grease the load cell cable connector end
and place it into a plastic bag.
Wheels:
Remove and inspect wheel hub. Replace worn parts, redress and re-t.
Blades:
Blades need to be kept sharpened. This will have to be done without taking
the temper (over heating) from the blades. If the machine is operated with
blunt blades it will cause major stress on the drive system. Blades may have
to be replaced when it is not practical to sharpen them.
