Service and Repairs
Greasing Bearings, Bushings, and Pivot Points (Fig. 11 and Fig. 12)
Note: Each cutting unit has (8) grease fittings (with optional front roller installed) that must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease.
Note: On earlier production cutting units the grease fittings for the reels are locate on the inside of the cutting unit. Later production models have the grease fittings lo- cated on the outside portion of the bearing housing.
1.The grease fitting locations and quantities are:
A.Bedknife adjuster (2) (Fig. 11). Grease these fit- tings every 50 hours.
B.Reel bearings (inside sideplate), (2) and front and rear rollers (2 ea.) (Fig. 12). Grease these fit- tings every 8 hours.
IMPORTANT: Lubricating cutting units immediately af- ter washing helps purge water out of bearings and in- creases bearing life.
2.Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
3.Apply grease until pressure is felt against the han-
dle.
