LUBRICATION SERVICE SCHEDULE
IMPORTANT: Your Grain Cart has grease fittings at all critical points. These should be serviced before the
cart is put into operation.
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAIN CART.
Hitch: There is a grease fitting located on the pivot shaft of the swivel hitch.
PTO & Drive Line: The grease fittings on the PTO should be serviced after every 8 hours of use. Service
the grease fittings on each of the drive bearings and also the univeral joint after every 8 hours of use.
Folding Mechanism of Auger: One grease fitting is located on the pivot pin of the folding auger. This fitting
should be serviced after every 8 hours of use. Service the grease fitting on the hanger bushing assembly
(top end of the lower auger assembly) after every 8 hours of use or as needed.
Gearbox: Gearbox lubricant has been added to the gearbox during final assembly. Recheck lubricant level
before initial operation of this cart. The fluid level should be checked from time to time. An inspection plug
is located in the center of the top of the gearbox mount plate. To check the fluid level, remove drain plug at
the bottom of the gearbox and also the vented inspection plug. Drain lubricant. Return drain plug and refill
gearbox with 24 ounces of gearbox lubricant. (Gearbox is properly filled when half full of lubricant). DO
NOT OVERFILL. Use EP 80-90 gearbox lubricant or equivalent.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WHEN SERVICING THE GRAIN CART, BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF.
Repack the wheel bearings at least once a year. Use Bearing Gard MK1 or equivalent lubricant. Also check
the seal for wear and replace if necessary.
Check the grain cart periodically for cracks in welds and for other structural damage. Have cracked welds
fixed immediately. Failure to do so could result in extensive damage to the grain cart and greatly reduce
the life of the cart.
Lubricate the slides on the clean-out door.
Make sure that the tires are properly inflated. See INITIAL OPERATION / MAINTENANCE for recommended
instructions for tire pressure. It is important that tires are inspected before and after unit is loaded.
Check hydraulic hoses for wear and replace if needed.
Check PTO for wear of plates in slip clutch. Replace if needed.
Make sure that all guards and shields are in place before operating the grain cart.
Spring Loaded Top Auger Bearing: Service the grease fitting on the upper auger bearing (located on the
top end of the upper auger assembly) after every 8 hours of use. Lubricate springs and retaining bolts on
the bearing before prolonged storage of the grain cart.
Make sure wheel nuts are tight before operating the grain cart. Wheel nuts should be checked during initial
operation of the cart and after every 10 hours of use.
Make sure set screws are tight in bearings along drive line and in U-Joints.
