LUBRICATION SERVICE SCHEDULE

IMPORTANT: Your grain cart has grease ttings at all critical points. These should be serviced before the grain cart is

put into operation.

WARNING

BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAIN CART

HITCH: There is a grease tting located on the pivot shaft of the swivel hitch for grain carts equipped without an

electronic weigh system (scales).

PTO & DRIVELINE: The grease ttings on the PTO should be serviced after every 8 hours of use. Service the grease

ttings on each of the drive bearings and also the universal joint after every 8 hours of use.

AUGER FOLDING MECHANISM: One grease tting is located on the pivot pin of the folding auger. This tting should

be serviced after every 8 hours of use. Service the grease tting on the hanger bushing assembly (top end of the lower

auger assembly) after every 8 hours of use or as needed.

SPRING LOADED UPPER AUGER BEARING: Service the grease tting on the upper auger bearing (located at the top

end of the upper auger assembly) after every 8 hours of use. Lubricate the springs and retaining bolts on the bearing

before prolonged storage of the grain cart.

GEARBOX: Gearbox lubricant has been added to the gearbox during nal assembly. Recheck the lubricant level before

initial operation of the grain cart, then periodically according to use. An inspection plug is located in the center of the

top of the gearbox mount plate. To check the uid level, remove the vented inspection plug and drain plug at the bottom

of the gearbox. Drain the lubricant. Return the drain plug and rell the gearbox with 24 ounces (0,71 liters) of gearbox

lubricant. The gearbox is properly lled when half full of lubricant. DO NOT OVERFILL. Use EP 80-90 gearbox lubricant

or equivalent.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

WARNING

BE CERTAIN ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF WHEN SERVICING THE GRAIN CART

• Repack the wheel bearings at least once a year. Use Bearing Gard MK1 or equivalent lubricant. Also check the seal

for wear and replace if necessary.

• Check the grain cart periodically for cracks in welds and for other structural damage. Have cracked welds xed

immediately. Failure to do so could result in extensive damage to the grain cart and greatly reduce the life of the cart.

• Lubricate the slides on the clean-out door.

• Check all hydraulic hoses for wear and replace as necessary.

• Make sure all tires are properly inated. See INITIAL OPERATION AND MAINTENCE in the Owner’s Manual for

recommended instructions for tire pressure. It is important that tires are inspected before and after unit loaded.

• Check PTO for wear of plates in the slip clutch. Replace if needed.

• Make sure that all guards and shields are in place before operating the grain cart.
