McHale F5400 Baler
41
6.6 Automatic lubrication system
The machine is equipped with a fully automatic oiling system which is responsible for
lubricating all of the chain systems and a manual greasing system with centralised
grease blocks for lubricating all of the roller bearings in the machine.
6.6.1 Automatic oiling system
The oil reservoir tank (A) can hold approximately 3 litres of oil and this is enough oil for
approximately 12 working hours. It should be kept between the minimum and maximum
markings at all times. McHale recommend the use of only top quality chain oil and
grease, this will prolong the life of the machine components. On the control box, an
alarm is provided to remind the operator to top up the lubrication oil after a preset
number of cycles. This counts down from 300 and gives a reminder at zero. It may be
reset sooner, if desired, from within the control box sub menus. (See ‘Lube/Oil alarm’)
Oil reservoir tank
To add oil:
1. Unscrew the top cap and add chain oil to the oil reservoir tank (A), up to the
maximum level mark shown. (McHale recommend a good quality high
viscosity chain oil with good tack adhesion (ISO 150 - ISO 200)).
2. Replace the cap and tighten fully.
NOTE: Figures in the table are approximate
Figures are calculated assuming a bale circumference of 3.77 m
(diameter of 1.2 m). The values of the layers and length of net will be
approximate due to differing bale diameters, varying crop conditions, etc.
WARNING: Ensure the tractor is shut down before adding oil
Ensure that the tractor engine has been shut down, the key has been
removed from the ignition and the brakes have been applied before
adding oil.
