GREASING THE WINDROWER

See "Recommended Lubricants" in this section for

recommended greases.

The following greasing points are marked on the

machine by decals showing a grease gun (A), and

grease interval (B) in hours of operation. Log your

hours of operation and use the "Maintenance

Checklist" provided to keep a record of scheduled

maintenance.

Procedure:

1. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing, to avoid injecting dirt and grit.

2. Inject grease through fitting with grease gun until grease overflows fitting, except where noted.

3. Leave excess grease on fitting to keep out dirt.

4. Replace any loose or broken fittings immediately.

5. If fitting will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passageway. Replace

fitting if necessary.
