Lubricate Intermediate Drive

IMPORTANT: Do this with the cylinder speed adjusted to the fastest setting.

Start the combine and engage the separator. Increase threshing cylinder to the highest speed. This will compress the spring and reduce the inner cavity to it's smallest area.

If you have the cylinder spring at the slowest speed, the tension spring is expanded allowing the inner area to take more grease. If this cavity is completely full, the sheaves cannot come together (creating a hydraulic lock) and increased cylinder speed cannot be attained.

Remove the vent plug (A) from intermediate cylinder drive.

Pump grease into grease fitting (B) until grease comes out of the vent plug hole. Install the vent plug.

Start the combine and cycle the cylinder from high speed to low speed and back to high speed. Shut off combine.

Remove vent plug.

Pump grease into grease fitting (C), until grease comes out of vent plug hole. Install vent plug.
