Service jobs and parts

Grease the bearings and lubrication points

Lubrication · every year

Kverneland: lubricate according to the maintenance chart, after heavy use, and at least once a season, with 1 or 2 strokes of the gun. The chart marks points as daily (D), weekly (W) or once per season (S), but the grid itself is a drawing, so check it in your handbook. Track marker pivots are greased daily, support wheels and the fan drive weekly. Do not grease maintenance-free bearings.

PartQtyNotesPart number
Multipurpose grease1Multipurpose grease (NLGI 2 is normal). The manual gives no grade. Aztec Oils match: VOLCATEC LITHIUM EP 2check your handbook
Step-by-step
  1. Wipe each nipple clean first.
  2. Give 1 or 2 strokes only. If you feel resistance on the second stroke stop, as excess grease lets dust in.
  3. Track marker: fold out and lower the machine, fold the marker in, then grease the two pivot points.
  4. Support wheels (one nipple on each side section wheel) and the fan drive (one nipple under the cover) are weekly points.
