Lubricate Roller Chains—50 Hours

IMPORTANT: Do not use chain lube or any other petroleum based lubricant on chains. Petroleum base acts as a “dirt magnet”, holding dust on chain links and limiting free movement.

Lubricate roller chains with John Deere Multipurpose Spray Lube, TY6350 (or equivalent) at weekly (50 hour) interval. Under adverse operating conditions, lubricate chains daily.

Effective roller chain maintenance varies, depending on environmental conditions and/or condition of the chain(s). The goal is to maintain free movement at every chain link joint.

If not well lubricated, airborne moisture can accumulate on chains causing them to rust and stiffen. Over time, rust can become serious enough to restrict chain movement, preventing smooth power-flow through the ground/meter drive systems.
