Lubrication and Maintenance
TRACK ENDWHEEL AND MIDWHEEL BEARINGS
Check bearings annually or after every 1000 hours of use,
whichever comes first.
If bearings sound rough, hub should be removed and
bearings inspected and replaced if necessary. If bearing
replacement is not necessary, pump grease into spindle until
grease comes out the pressure relief valve located on the
opposite side.
See Maintenance section of this manual if endwheel or
midwheel bearing replacement is necessary.

WHEEL BEARINGS
Wheel bearings should be checked and lubricated annually.
Raise wheel off the ground and remove the dust cap. Check
for endplay in bearings by moving tire in and out. Rotate tire
to check for roughness in bearings. If bearings sound rough,
the hub should be removed and bearings inspected and
replaced if necessary. See “Wheel Bearing Replacement” in
Maintenance section of this manual.
If bearing replacement is not necessary, while wheel is
raised and dust cap removed, pump grease into hub until
grease comes out through bearing rollers. Replace dust cap.
Proper lubrication of all moving parts will help ensure efficient operation of your Kinze Grain Cart and prolong the life of
friction producing parts.
HORIZONTAL AUGER BEARINGS
Check and lubricate bearing hubs annually.
Remove hub and inspect bearings If bearings sound rough. If bearing replacement is not necessary, pump grease into
hub until grease comes out through seals.
NOTICE: Remove any grease purged through grease seal on V-belt side of forward horizontal auger hub.
See Maintenance section of this manual if bearing replacement is necessary.
SPLINES
Clean and grease all splines before assembly to prolong life, and to prevent damage and ease disassembly when
removing.
NOTICE: To extend life of shaft splines, apply a coating of high-speed industrial coupling grease, such as
Chevron
® Coupling Grease, that meets AGMA CG-1 and CG-2 Standards.
