McHale V Series Baler

6.3.2 Manual greasing system (standard)
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 cover
the main components that must be greased at intervals listed below. Apply one stroke
only with a grease gun at each grease point. All other grease points must be greased,
as specified. (See ‘Additional greasing’). McHale recommend using a multipurpose,
extra high performance grease such as Mobilgrease XHP 222 or equivalent NLGI
number 2 grade grease. This will prolong the life of the machine components.
Always wear gloves to avoid direct contact with grease, as this may cause skin
irritation.
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.
Grease blocks DS
Grease blocks NDS
The baler’s drive side (DS) and non-drive side (NDS) are greased manually at three
centralised grease blocks.
Two serve the bearings on the chamber rollers and rotor bearing (and pick-up drive
gears on the LHS). These are to be greased after every 1,200 bales approximately.
One serves other bearings and bushings via flex pipes and should be greased after
every 300 bales approximately.
