LUBRICATION
GREASING BEARINGS AND BUSHINGS
The main working bearings of the aerator are sealed for
life and require no maintenance or lubrication. This
drastically reduces the maintenance required and
eliminates the risk of grease or oil being dropped onto
the turf.
There are grease fittings that must be lubricated with
an SAE multi-purpose, high-temperature grease
with high pressure (EP) performance or SAE
multi-purpose lithium base grease.
The lubrication intervals and points are:
LUBRICATE DAILY - PTO shaft (4) (Fig. 23).
Figure 23
LUBRICATE WEEKLY - Roller Bearings (2) (Fig. 24),
Depth Jacks (2) (Fig. 25), Drive Shaft Bearings (2) (Fig.
26).

1. Remove check plug at rear of gearbox.
2. Make sure oil is up to bottom of plug hole in
gearbox.
3. If oil level is low, remove fill plug on top of gear box
and replenish oil as required.
