MAINTENANCE
• P.T.O. Shaft
Every 8 operating hours lubricate with quality grease. Clean and grease the P.T.O drive shaft before each
prolonged period of non-use. Grease the plastic guard tubes in winter to prevent freezing. Note! `Safe Stop’
and disengage PTO.
• Feed out Rotor, PTO drive and Layshaft Bearings
Every 8 operating hours lubricate with Morris Multi Purpose EP Grease or equivalent. Note! `Safe Stop’
and disengage PTO.
• Check tyre pressures and wheel nuts every 8 operating hours. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
• Main Auger Bearings
Every 8 operating hours lubricate with Morris Multi Purpose EP Grease or equivalent. Note! `Safe Stop’ and
disengage PTO.
• Tray Tension Bushes (under Rotor Lever)
Every 20 operating hours lubricate with Morris Multi Purpose EP Grease or equivalent. Note! `Safe Stop’
and disengage PTO.
• Recommended slackness in chains should be measured as illustrated, with a measurement of 6mm – 12mm.
To obtain a full life for each chain, regular tensioning is required. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
• lubricate with Oil every 200 hours
(a) Drive chains, and check adjustment, Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
(b) Guard hinges, stone trap pivots, tray pivots, rotor cover hinges, moving wall pivot, and door cylinder
and brake cylinder pivot points. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
• Annually remove hub caps from axles and fill with Morris Multi Purpose EP Grease or equivalent,
lightly oil brake lever shaft. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
• Hoses must be checked periodically for excessive cracking or damage that may compromise their
functionality. Any maintenance on the hydraulics must not be carried out unless the vehicle is isolated
appropriately.
• Operation of the lights must be checked periodically.
• When replacing the bearings in axle hubs, they must be torqued up until they start to drag, then released to
the nearest slot on the castle nut.
Note: - R.H.P. type bearings should only be greased with 1or 2 pumps of grease gun. Excessive greasing will
force out the seals.
If machine is laid up for a period of time, carry out greasing and lubrication
. i.e. pour waste oil between body and moving wall to combat corrosion.
