LUBRICATION
GREASE FITTINGS Lubricate all grease fittings every 40 hours of operation. (See Maintenance
and Lubrication Chart - Section 5)
CHAINCASE ROLLER CHAIN Roller Chain should be oiled after every 100 hours of use.
TURNBUCKLES The Turnbuckles should be cleaned and re-greased at the end of the season. In
severe rusting areas this should be done more frequently.
PINS Cylinder and moldboard pins should be spot lubricated with oil every 4 weeks.
CYLINDERS Cylinder tops should be wiped clean and spot lubricated with penetrating oil every
100 hours and at the end of the season.
CONVEYOR CHAIN It is recommended that the Conveyor Chain be run dry. A dry graphite
lubricant may also be used. Occasionally, especially after a period of disuse, light penetrating oil
may be applied.
Prior to winter storage, heavier oil may be applied to avoid rusting.
