McHale F5400 Baler

6.6.2 Greasing system
The machine is equipped with a manual greasing system using centralised grease
blocks for lubricating all of the roller bearings in the machine. These instructions only
cover the main components that must be greased daily, approximately every 250
bales. All other grease points must be greased, as specified. (See ‘Machine
maintenance’). McHale recommend using a multipurpose, extra high performance
grease such as Mobil grease XHP222 or equivalent NLGI number 2 grade grease. This
will prolong the life of the machine components.
6.6.3 Oil pump adjustment
The oil pump is factory pre-set and under normal circumstances should not require any
adjustment. If insufficient oil delivery is noticed on a particular chain, then the pump can
be adjusted as follows:
The delivery is regulated for pairs of pressure connections, one above the other. Firstly
unscrew the black plastic cover on top of the pump, which exposes the five adjusting
screws. Adjustment to the delivery must be carried out using a slot-head screwdriver
(Using a smaller screwdriver may damage the adjustment screw, so use size 8 - 10
minimum).
NOTE: Oil in the reservoir tank should always be clean
The oil in the oil reservoir tank should always be clean, strained and free
of any impurities during top-up, as this will ensure proper operation and
lubrication.
The baler’s drive side is greased
manually at two centralised blocks.
These serve the drive side bearings on:
1. the chamber rollers
2. the rotor bearing
3. the pick-up drive gears
The baler’s non-drive side is also
greased manually at two centralised
blocks.
These serve the non-drive side bearings
on:
1. the chamber rollers
2. the rotor bearing
