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. 23).

Figure 23

LUBRICATE WEEKLY—Roller bearings (2) (Fig.

24), depth jacks (2) (Fig. 25), drive shaft bearings (2)

(Fig. 26).

Gearbox Lubrication

The gearbox is filled with 85/140 gear oil or

equivalent.

Check gearbox oil level every 6 months or 100 hours.

1. Remove the check plug at the rear of the gearbox.

2. Make sure oil is up to bottom of the plug hole in

the gearbox.

3. If oil level is low, remove fill plug on top of the

gearbox and replenish oil as required.

4. Install the plug.
