Lubrication

The Rake–O–Vac has grease fittings that must be lubricated
regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease.
Lubricate bearings after every 30 hours of operation or
whenever machine is washed with water. Bearings and
bushings must be lubricated daily when operating
conditions are extremely dusty and dirty. Dusty and dirty
operating conditions could cause dirt to get into the
bearings and bushings, resulting in accelerated wear. The
grease fittings that must be lubricated are the gauge wheel
bearings (2) (Fig. 19); reel shaft bearings (2) (Fig. 19);
impeller shaft bearings (2) (Fig. 20); Jackshaft bearings (2)
(Fig. 21) left and right trailing arms (1 ea.) (Fig. 21) front
and rear drive shafts (6) (Model 07052 only)
(Fig. 22 & 23).
1. Wipe grease fittings clean so foreign matter cannot be
forced into the bearing or bushing.
2. Pump grease into the bearing or bushing.
3. Wipe up excess grease.
