LUBRICATION
It is extremely important to keep your rake properly lubricated at all times. Failure to do so will
greatly decrease the performance and the life of the machine.
Never lubricate or perform any maintenance, adjustments or repairs with the machine running.
The PTO must be disengaged and the tractor’s engine must be shut off.
With a clean cloth wipe off both the grease tting and the tip of the grease gun. This will elimi-
nate any chance of dirt or dust particles getting inside and damaging the bearings.
Do not overgrease the ange bearings. Overgreasing could rupture the seals exposing the
bearing to a lot of dust particles. Roller bearings are sealed and are generally maintenance
free. The friction bearing points cannot be overgreased.
Gearbox Lubrication
The oil level in the gearbox can be checked by removing the check plug on the side of the
gearbox (1) and using a straw to insure that the oil level is near the bottom of the plug hole. If
oil needs to be added, use SAE 85W140 Gear Lube and ll using the plug located on the top of
the gear box (2).

We recommend changing the oil after every 200 hours of use. To do this, remove the plug at
the bottom of the gear box (3) and drain the oil into a container for proper disposal. Always fol-
low local guidelines for disposal of waste oil in an environmentally appropriate manner. Never
drain waste oil directly onto the ground.
