Lubrication
Each cutting unit has 6 grease fittings (with optional front
roller installed) that must be lubricated regularly with
No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease.
The grease fitting locations and quantities are: Bedknife
adjuster (2), every 50 hours (Fig. 15); Reel bearings (2)
and front and rear rollers (2 ea.) (Fig. 16).
Note: Lubricate only one reel bearing grease fitting on
each end of cutting unit.
Important Lubricating cutting units immediately after
washing helps purge water out of bearings and increases
bearing life.
1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
2. Apply grease until pressure is felt against handle.
Important Do not apply too much pressure or grease
seals will be permanently damaged.
3. Wipe excess grease away.
