30 16.50 PRO DR ® RAPID-FEED™ CHIPPER
Grease Fittings
Your RAPID-FEED CHIPPER was greased at the Factory. The operator needs to periodically lubricate the
two Bearings of the Chipper Assembly.
Tools and Supplies needed:
• Flexible hose grease gun
• Lithium grease
• Clean cloth
• 5/32" Allen Wrench
• Loctite ® 243
1. Remove the Belt Cover (see “Removing, Replacing and
Adjusting the Drive Belt” in this Chapter).
2. Wipe all dirt, etc., from the grease fittings with a clean
cloth (Figure 24).
3. Apply no more than three pumps of quality general-
purpose lithium grease with a hand-pumped grease
gun to each Bearing Grease Fitting, one on either side
of the Chipper Assembly.
4. Check the Set Screws for tightness. If they are not tight
they should be removed, apply Loctite ® to the threads,
then reinstall and tighten the Set Screws.
5. Replace the Belt Guard.
SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, WAIT FOR ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, REMOVE
SPARK PLUG WIRE, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, THEN WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE OR INSPECTION ON THE CHIPPER.
