28 DR ® 13 HP CHIPPER
Grease Fittings
Your DR 13 HP CHIPPER was greased at the Factory. The operator needs to lubricate the Chipper Side
and Drive Side Bearings periodically.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE OR INSPECTION, STOP THE ENGINE, WAIT FIVE
(5) MINUTES TO ALLOW ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND COOL. DISCONNECT
THE SPARK PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG.
Supplies Needed:
•
Flexible hose grease gun
•
Lithium grease
•
Clean cloth
•
5/32" Allen Wrench
•
Loctite ® 243 (as required)
1. Wipe all dirt, etc., from the grease fittings with a clean cloth (Figure 8).
2. Apply no more than three (3) pumps of quality general-purpose lithium grease with a hand-
pumped grease gun to each grease fitting, one (1) on the Chipper Side Bearing, and one (1) on the
Drive Side Bearing.
OVER LUBRICATION CAN ALSO DAMAGE THE BEARINGS.
3. After greasing, check the Bearing Collar Set Screws for tightness with the 5/32" Allen Wrench. If
they are loose, reset them with Loctite ® 243, obtainable at any hardware store.
