LUBRICATION
BEARINGS (Fig. 2)
The topdresser has five self-sealing bearings that must
be lubricated with a No. 2 Lithium based grease.
IMPORTANT: Lubricate the bearings to maintain
a slight leakage on the seals. Too much grease can
cause overheating.
DRIVE CHAIN (Fig. 2)
Always maintain a tight coat of grease on the drive
chain.
