OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

4-21

Lubrication Maintenance

1. Table 4-1 specifies the number and the period of

lubrication points on the 7431 VT Plus. Proper

maintenance of your machine will, under normal

operating conditions, help to keep it operating at or

near its peak performance for an extended period of

time. Proper maintenance is also a condition of

keeping your warranty in good status (See

Figure 4-22.)

2. When lubricating the VT Plus, SAE multi-purpose EP

grease, or EP grease with 3-5% molybdenum sulfide

is recommended. Wipe soil from fittings before

greasing. Replace any lost or broken fittings

immediately.

3. Disc gang and conditioner reel bearings are

equipped with seals that will let grease pass and not

harm the seal. Regular lubrication will maintain a full

grease cavity and help purge any contaminants.

Grease the bearings before long periods of storage

to prevent moisture buildup within the bearing cavity.

4. Wheel seals and walking tandem seals, when

properly installed, will allow grease to pass without

harm to seals. Regular lubrication will extend service

life, particularly in severe operating conditions.

5. The VT Plus is equipped with maintenance-free

bearings in the lifts, leveler, wing hinges and gauge

wheel casters. These areas require no lubrication.
