LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
For efficient and low cost operation of any machine proper
lubrication and maintenance is needed. Follow the
instructions in this section of the manual (and on the
lubrication decals and charts located on the right and left
side frames of the machine) to make sure the combine is
lubricated at regular service intervals.
NOTE: Refer to the combine Operator’s manual for
lubrication and maintenance instructions for the
particular year model combine.

CAUTION: Always raise the header and
engage the header lift cylinder stop, lower
the reel, turn off the engine, and remove the
ignition key before performing any
lubrication or maintenance functions on the
combine.
LUBRICANTS
Use quality oils and greases and make sure to use the
proper lubricant for the job. Refer to Specifications section
for specific lubricant requirements.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
Keep lubricants in clean, covered containers. Clean
funnels, measures, and other handling equipment before
and after use. Clean fittings, plug openings, and other
lubrication points before servicing. Inspect and clean
plugs and other detachable fittings before installing.
SERVICE PERIODS
Frequency requirements, listed in Lubrication and
Maintenance charts, are based on normal operating
conditions. If combine is being operated under extreme
weather or dust conditions, lubricate more often. Change

time interval has been between oil changes.
NOTE: Monitor the engine hour meter to insure that all
maintenance intervals are met.
