Landoll 7431 VT Plus - Manual (Page 89)

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
4-21
Lubrication Maintenance
1. Table 4-1 specifies the number and the period of
lubrication points on the 7431 VT Plus. Proper
maintenance of your machine will, under normal
operating conditions, help to keep it operating at or
near its peak performance for an extended period of
time. Proper maintenance is also a condition of
keeping your warranty in good status (See
Figure 4-22.)
2. When lubricating the VT Plus, SAE multi-purpose EP
grease, or EP grease with 3-5% molybdenum sulfide
is recommended. Wipe soil from fittings before
greasing. Replace any lost or broken fittings
immediately.
3. Disc gang and conditioner reel bearings are
equipped with seals that will let grease pass and not
harm the seal. Regular lubrication will maintain a full
grease cavity and help purge any contaminants.
Grease the bearings before long periods of storage
to prevent moisture buildup within the bearing cavity.
4. Wheel seals and walking tandem seals, when
properly installed, will allow grease to pass without
harm to seals. Regular lubrication will extend service
life, particularly in severe operating conditions.
5. The VT Plus is equipped with maintenance-free
bearings in the lifts, leveler, wing hinges and gauge
wheel casters. These areas require no lubrication.
