MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
GREASING THE HEADER
See "Recommended Lubricants" in this section for
recommended greases.
The following greasing points are marked on the
header by decals showing a grease gun (A), and
grease interval (B) in hours of operation. Use the
hour meter in the windrower or combine cab and
the "Maintenance Checklist" provided to keep a
record of scheduled maintenance.
Procedure:
1. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before
greasing, to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
2. Inject grease through fitting with grease gun
until grease overflows fitting.
3. Leave excess grease on fitting to keep out dirt.
4. Replace any loose or broken fittings
immediately.
5. If fitting will not take grease, remove and clean
thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passageway.
Replace fitting if necessary.
DANGER: Stay clear of driveline
until all movement has stopped.
Entanglement with rotating driveline
will cause serious personal injury or
death. Avoid loose fitting or
dangling clothing.
