LUBRICATION GUIDE
WARNING
The service life and reliability of any machine depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubrication is a very important part of that care. This lubrication schedule reflects the minimal requirements to maintain the equipment. More frequent inspections and maintenance is preferable.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit. They may cause damage to electrical components; spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
Using the lubrication illustration as a guide, make certain that all lubrication fittings are installed and functioning.
Be sure all fittings are free from dirt and paint so the lubricant is certain to enter the bearing.
Using a pressure lubricating gun, always force the lubricant through the full length of each bearing until it emerges at the end, carrying with it the worn lubricant and any dirt that may have entered the bearing.
Miscellaneous working parts not provided with lubrication fittings should be oiled regularly with a good grade of lubricating oil.
Always lubricate the tractor thoroughly before taking it to a remote location for a prolonged period of time.
Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can be expensive to replace.
Keep your supply of lubricating oil and grease stored in clean containers, and covered to protect from dust and dirt.
Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean and wipe dirt from the grease fittings before lubricating.
The symbols in the illlustrations indicate the method of application and the hourly intervals to apply the lubricant.
Use a pressure lubricating gun and apply 251H EP grease (or equivalent No. 2
Dipstick, use to check engine and transmission oil before each use.
