LUBRICATING THE DRIVE GEAR
For best operation and longer lifetime,
lubricate the brush cutter drive gear with
a special grease as described below after
every 50 hours of operation.
There are two sealing screws: one on the
gear case (Fig. 15a) and the other on the
power head (Fig. 15 b).
Remove them with the provided hex key
and follow the steps below to apply up to
0.169 oz (5 ml) of grease into the oil hole
(Fig. 15).
DO NOT FULLY FILL THE GEAR
CASE WITH THE GREASE.
1. Lay the brush cutter on its side
so that the sealing screw to be
removed is facing upwards (Fig. 15a
& 15b).
2. Use the included hex key to loosen and remove the sealing screw.
3. Use a grease gun (not included) to inject some grease into the oil hole; do not
exceed 3/4 capacity.
4. Tighten the sealing screw(s) after injection.
The grease should meet the following requirements:
◾
NLGI Grade Penetration: NLGI-1
◾
Thickener Type: Ester
◾
Recommended Operating Temperature Range: -40°F to 356°F (-40°C to 180°C)
◾
Other than above, the grease should also have excellent low-temperature startup,
EP, mechanical shearing, abrasion resistance and oxidative stability properties.
