Maintenance
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 (3) (Fig. 24).
Figure 24
Lubricate Weekly–Roller Bearings (2) (Fig. 25), Depth
Jacks (2) (Fig. 26), Drive Shaft Bearings (2) (Fig. 27).
