GREASING CUTTER SHAFT – FLAIL MOWERS
Locate grease zerks on each end of cutter shaft(s), these are located on the
bearing cover. Normal conditions require one or two pump in each bearing, using
Lithium-Complex Extreme Pressure grease conforming to NLGI2-ISO 320
specifications. This is to be done with a standard grease gun daily or at 8 hour
intervals. CAUTION: Over greasing may cause premature seal failure.

maintenance or repair procedures. THE BALL VALVES MUST BE OPEN (handle
parallel with valve) WHEN TRACTOR IS RE-STARTED OR PUMP IS COUPLED
TO MOTOR OR P.T.O. ! Failure to do so may result in component failure!
