McHale V Series Baler
53
6.3.3 Automatic greasing system (optional)
The machine is equipped with a fully automatic greasing which is responsible for
greasing the roller bearings in the machine baling chamber and oiling of all chain
systems. All additional grease points must be greased, as specified. (See ‘Machine
maintenance’) A grease cartridge is required after every 1,200 bales approximately.
The grease cartridge may be discharged after a few hundred bales but should only be
replaced after every 1,200 bales; or at every fourth oil fill.
Replacing refill grease cartridge and releasing airlock:
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.
1. Flip back the the grease plunger stop
bracket. Unscrew the cartridge
holder from the pump and remove the
used cartridge.
2. Pull the plunger all the way back and
locate a new refill cartridge.
3. Remove the cap from the plunger
end of the refill cartridge. Insert the
refill cartridge, as shown, and remove
the pull tab seal.
4. Screw the cartridge holder onto the
pump, but do not tighten. Only screw
the cartridge a few turns, once the
threads are engaged.
5. Release the plunger and push the
plunger rod all the way back into the
cartridge holder.
