Section 7 – Lubrication/Maintenance

7.7 – Every 250 Hours of Operation or Annually

Danger: Before lubricating or performing
maintenance on any part of the corn head,
engage the feeder house lift cylinder
safety stops, set the parking brake, turn
off the combine engine and remove the
key and hang a warning sign on the
operator’s platform. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or death.

Important: Because the corn head uses full
synthetic oils it is not required to change
these fluids. It is only required to add oil to
maintain the correct levels.

20hr Service

Perform a 20hr Service. See section 7.5.

100hr Service

Perform a 100hr Service if doing end of season
maintenance. See section 7.6.

7.7.1 – 250 Hour or Annually Grease/Lubricate

Gathering Chain Lubrication

Danger: Never lubricate gathering
chains with the corn head, base unit
components, or combine engine
running.

Important: When operating in down corn
do not lubricate the gathering chains to
avoid dirt ingress into the chain.

Every 250 hours, or annually, lubricate the gathering
chains (A). It is recommended to run the chains for a
few minutes before lubricating to aid in oil penetration
between the internal pivot pins and bushings.

Lubricant Type:
SAE 30W Motor Oil
