5.2.4 Greasing Schedule
Equipment Required
• Manually operated grease gun supplying NLGI #2 Molybdenum Disulphide Grease to M6/M8
grease nipples
With reference to the position of grease points in Figure 5.7, the following greasing schedule should be adhered
to, to ensure reliability and longevity in components.
IMPORTANT: With extended and harder working conditions, these greasing times may need to be shortened to
compensate for the machine more intensive work requirements.
NOTE: All values throughout this section are given on the assumption that a manually operated grease gun is
used to carry out the greasing procedures giving a predicted quantity of 0.8-1.0g of grease per pump.
WARNING! It is mandatory to switch the combustion engine off and disengage PTO and ensure that
the tractor and machine is stopped, the ignition key is removed from the dashboard and the parking
brake is engaged before leaving the driver’s seat and proceeding to carry out maintenance on any of the
PTO shafts.
