Figure 5.9: Knifehead
Knifehead: Lubricate the knifehead (A) every 25 hours. Check
for signs of excessive heating on the first few guards after
greasing. If required, relieve the pressure by pressing the check-
ball in the grease fitting.
IMPORTANT:
Overgreasing the knifehead puts pressure on the knife, causing it
to rub against the guards, resulting in excessive wear from
binding. Do NOT overgrease the knifehead. Apply only one to
two pumps using a mechanical grease gun (do NOT use an
electric grease gun). If more than six to eight pumps of the
grease gun are required to fill the cavity, replace the seal in the
knifehead. For instructions, refer to 5.5.4 Removing Knifehead
Bearing, page 134.
