Maintenance
GREASE LOCATIONS
Your PENTA TMR Cutter-Mixer-Feeder has several locations that require grease on a regular
basis. On all models there is (1) grease nipple on the planetary close to the input shaft. This
should be greased 3 pumps for every 10 hours of operation. If this is not greased on a regular
basis, damage to the top of the tower bearing will result. If this grease fitting ever becomes
plugged or severed, contact your PENTA dealer.
Conveyor Grease Locations
the grease locations are at every bearing on the conveyor. A flat conveyor only has the grease
locations shown at both ends of the conveyor. The conveyor bearings should be greased every 8
hours of operation.
As outlined in the Suggested Maintenance Schedule, the PTO should be greased according to the
manufacturers specifications. (See attached PTO information for proper maintenance procedures).
The PTO cannot be over greased. Pump enough grease into the cross to see grease come out of all
the four cups. The seals will move back into place.
P.T.O. DRIVE SHAFT
The PTO shaft used for power transmissions between the power supply and the machine driven
must not be used.
• without the guards supplied by EG S.P.A.
• with only partial protection
• with damaged guard
• without the anti-rotation chains correctly attached so as to permit the attached
maximum angle of the PTO shaft without compressing the guard.
Make sure the length of the PTO shaft is the right length for your tractor, turn your tractor tight
keeping a eye on the drive shaft make sure there is room for more movement.(turning shortens the
driveshaft.)
If the shear bolt has been broken, replace the bolt only with a new one of the same class and size.
Do not use superior or inferior class bolts.
