• Rotor Bearings Grease Fittings
Location:
(1) Left side: Located at the left side of the
carbide cutter, at the top of the bearing guard
(2) Right side: Located at the base of the
front push bar arm. Lubricate the fitting
through the opening of the frame, (bottom
grease fitting)
.
NOTE: Rotor bearings cannot be damaged by over-
greasing. Grease fittings until a small amount of
grease is purged from the bearing.
Interval: Daily or every 8 hours of operation.
• Belt Tensioner Grease Fitting
Location: (3) - Located at the base of the front push bar
arm, right side. Lubricate the fitting through
the opening of the frame, (top grease fitting).
NOTE: Remove the belt cover when lubricating the fitting.
Visually inspect the idler pulley components
while lubricating. Do Not over lubricate the idler
tensioner shaft.
NOTE: Over lubricating may be transferred to the belt,
causing the belt to slip, resulting in loss of rotor
RPM speed and loss of power to the rotor.
Interval: Every 50 hours of operation.
Overhung Load Adapter
NOTE: If replacing bearings or seals in the overhung
load adapter, be certain to refill with 6 oz. of
hydraulic fluid after reassembly.
