REASING

Important:

Most original equipment bearings used are sealed units that do not accept

grease.
The following grease fittings on the machine should be greased regularly:

• one fitting on each frame pin
• seven on the PTO (Figure 7.1)

• six on the intake hopper, u-joints and bearings (Figure 7.2)
• one at the upper flighting bearing (Figure 7.3)
• two on the gearbox coupling shaft (Figure 7.4)

WARNING

High-pressure hydraulic fluid!
Escaping oil under pressure can penetrate

the skin and cause serious injury.

• Relieve pressure on system before repair-

ing, adjusting, or disconnecting.

• Keep connections tight and components

in good repair.

• Use a piece of wood or cardboard when

searching for leaks. DO NOT use your

hand.

• Seek medical attention immediately if

ANY hydraulic fluid penetrates your skin.

NOTICE

Replacement hose and hose ends must have a minimum

strength of 2500 psi (17200 kPa) working pressure.
