4.6.1 Greasing Procedure
Some header components need to be lubricated in order to perform their function correctly and prevent machine damage.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always shut down the engine
and remove the key before leaving the operator’s seat, and always engage the safety props or close the lock-out valves
before going under the machine for any reason.
The greasing points are marked on the machine by decals showing a grease gun (A) and grease interval (B) in hours of
operation.
Use the recommended lubricants specified in this manual on the inside back cover.
Figure 4.8: Grease Interval Decal
1. Wipe the grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing it
to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
2. Inject the grease through the fitting with a grease gun until
the grease overflows the fitting, except where noted.
3. Leave excess grease on the fitting to keep out dirt.
4. Replace any loose or broken fittings immediately.
5. If the fitting will not take grease, remove and clean the
fitting and the lubricant passageway thoroughly. Replace
the fitting if necessary.
