2. Start the SP Baler, and leave it running with the
throttle at idle.
3. Engage the baler with the SP Baler at idle.
Press the bullgear luber button for 5 seconds
(see "Figure 24. Bullgear Luber Button" on page
27), and then release for 5 seconds. Repeat
until the bullgears get a full film of lubricant
covering the working surfaces of the gear teeth.
Subsequent lubrication should be done at the
end of the bailing shift to allow the lube time
to set up and minimize the "flinging" off of the
product.
During Baling
1. Lower plunger speed to 20 SPM.
2. Press Bullgear Luber button (see "Figure 24. Bull-
gear Luber Button" on page 27) for approximately
5 seconds. Repeat until the bullgears get a full film
of lubricant covering the working surfaces of the
gear teeth.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 every 30 minutes during
break-in period, every 4 hours after break-in period
(break-in period is first 48 hours of bailing).
Gearbox (if applicable)
WARNING
Chock baler wheels to prevent baler from
moving and make sure baler and tractor are
both turned off and all moving parts have
come to a complete stop before starting any
maintenance. Contact with moving equip-
ment can cause serious injury or death.
Use Mobilube HD Plus 80W-90 Gear Oil, Allied
P/N 235720.
Check oil level daily:
With the baler sitting level, remove the fill/check
plug. Oil should be level with the bottom of the
opening (see Figure 7131). Add oil as necessary
through the same opening. Replace plug and
tighten securely.
Change oil after first 50 hours, then every 250
hours:
1. Place a catch pan beneath the gearbox, under
the drain plug.
2. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the
gearbox (see Figure 7131) and let oil drain into
catch pan.
3. Replace the drain plug.
4. Add new oil through the fill/check plug opening
until the oil is level with the bottom of the
opening (see Figure 7131.) Replace plug and
tighten securely.
