Grease Bearings, Bushings and Gear Box

The cutting unit must be lubricated regularly. If machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate castor bearings and bushings with No. 2 general purpose lithi- um base grease or molybdenum base grease, after ev- ery 8 hours of operation or daily, whichever comes first. Lubricate fittings immediately after every washing, re- gardless of the interval listed.

front castor shaft bushings (2), blade spindle bearings (3), gage wheels (2), idler arm pivot and right and left push arm ball joints (Fig. 14).

2.Position the machine and cutting unit on a level sur- face and lower cutting unit. Remove check plug from side of gear box and make sure lubricant is up to bottom of hole.
