Perform Lubrication and Maintenance

This Lubrication and Maintenance Section is not a detailed service manual. It contains information meant primarily for routine operation maintenance. For more detailed service information, order a Technical Manual through your John Deere dealer.

CAUTION: To prevent injury, never lubricate or service windrower or engine while it is running. Lower platform to the ground or raise platform and engage platform lift lock out. Engine must be off and key removed.

IMPORTANT: The service intervals are for average conditions. Service more often if windrower is used in extreme or adverse conditions.

Perform each lubrication and service illustrated in this section both at the beginning of the season, and at the end of the season.

Clean grease fittings before using grease gun. Replace any lost or broken fittings immediately. If a new fitting fails to take grease, remove and check for failure of adjoining parts.

If you have any questions about the lubrication and maintenance of the windrower that is not covered in this manual contact your John Deere dealer.
