Lubrication LUBRICATION LUBRICANT STORAGE Your equipment can operate at top efficiency only if clean lubricants are used. Use clean containers to handle all lubricants. Whenever possible, store lubricants and containers in an area protected from dust, moisture and other contamination. Store containers on their side to avoid water and dirt accumulation.
LUBRICATE GANG BEARINGS Use medium consistency pressure grease. Grease the bearings whenever the seals appear dry. Add sufficient grease to force lubricant out under seal lip. In sandy conditions, the bearings should be lubricated daily to prevent the build-up of sand and grease just outside the sealing surface. The Timken tapered roller bearing assemblies are equipped with seals facing outward; therefore no damage can occur due to excessive lubrication.
CAUTION: Before servicing the harrow, always: 1. Lower harrow to the ground. 2. Shut the tractor off. 3. Lock parking brake. 4. Remove the key.
LUBRICATE WHEEL BEARINGS Once each season, remove hubcaps and pack the bearing cones and seals with No. 2 multi-purpose lithium grease or equivalent. Replace the grease seals if necessary. Make sure no foreign material is allowed to get into grease or bearings. Replace hubcaps.
