Service and Repairs
Greasing Bearings, Bushings, and Pivot Points (Fig. 11 and Fig. 12)
Note: Each cutting unit has (8) grease fittings (with
optional front roller installed) that must be lubricated
regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base
Grease.
Note: On earlier production cutting units the grease
fittings for the reels are locate on the inside of the cutting
unit. Later production models have the grease fittings lo-
cated on the outside portion of the bearing housing.
1. The grease fitting locations and quantities are:
A. Bedknife adjuster (2) (Fig. 11). Grease these fit-
tings every 50 hours.
B. Reel bearings (inside sideplate), (2) and front
and rear rollers (2 ea.) (Fig. 12). Grease these fit-
tings every 8 hours.
IMPORTANT: Lubricating cutting units immediately af-
ter washing helps purge water out of bearings and in-
creases bearing life.
2. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
3. Apply grease until pressure is felt against the han-
dle.
4. Wipe excess grease away.
