Maintenance & Care
Lubrication Instructions
Your new Duncan Ag Vineyard Seeder
will give long and efficient service if
given normal care and maintained
properly
Lubrication
Precautions
Keep the service area clean and dry.
Only service or lubricate the machine
when it is stationary and securely
supported.
Precautions with Grease
Grease nipples and the grease gun should
be carefully cleaned before use to prevent
dirt being forced into the bearings.
Dirty grease should be forced from the
bushes and disposed of safely.
Greases should not be mixed as the
structure may be weakened by the mixing of
different types of thickener, which may
cause softening and loss of grease from the
bearings by running out.
