MAINTENANCE
With the cutter head lowered, locate the grease zerks
on the linkage and pivot bosses. Inject Lithium-
Complex Extreme Pressure grease conforming to
NLG12-ISO 320 specifications until it protrudes from
the ends. With the cutter head in this position it is also
possible to grease the draft beam cylinder anchors and
pins. Now raise the cutter head to expose the
remaining zerks on the deck tilt linkages and on the
other end of the cylinder.
GREASING THE REAR DRIVE BEARING AND EXTENSION COUPLER
SHAFT
Locate the grease zerks for the rear flail drive
extension shaft. Make sure the zerks are clean
before injecting grease. One pump of grease into
flange zerk and shaft coupler once every day or for
every 8 hours of service.
GREASING PUMP DRIVE SHAFT COUPLER
With engine stopped, ensure drive shaft alignment
by grasping coupler and sliding back and forth.
Coupler should slice freely with approximately 1/8”
of end play. If coupler does not slide freely, inspect
for loose pump mount bolts, or damaged or loose
crank shaft adapter. Inject-Lithium Complex
Extreme Pressure grease conforming to NLGI2-ISO
320 specifications into coupler until grease begins
to protrude from ends. Grease daily or every 8
hours. Do not over grease.
