    Lubricate Gauge Wheel fitting (C) on both sides of machine, use John Deere POLYUREA GREASE or an equivalent SAE multipurpose-type grease.
  2. Change oil in final drives if using 80W/140 synthetic oil. NOTE: This service should be done every 250 hours if using 80W/140 synthetic oil, but when the cane harvesters are frequently self transported between fields, traveling at high speeds for longer than average periods, or operating for time periods longer than 10 hours per day, it will be necessary to change the final drive oil more frequently to avoid breakdown and damage to the final drive components. Oil analyses are the most effective method to determining the oil change interval.
    NOTE: To prevent premature failure of sealed bearings, pump only 3 shots of grease into each fitting with a hand pump grease gun. Over-lubrication will damage the seals. Use recommended multi-purpose grease.
  3. Lubricate the (2) scroll bearings. Optional outside scrolls also have (2) bearings.
  4. Lubricate the (5) left feed roller bearings.
  5. Lubricate the (4) right feed roller bearings.
