Lubrication Service Schedule

 

IMPORTANT:  Your Gravity Wagon has grease fittings at all critical points.  These should be serviced before the  

 

 

Gravity Wagon is put into operation each season. 

 

 

IMPORTANT: Your Gravity Wagon is  equipped Oil Bath Hubs that should  be flushed once a year.  Follow the steps below:

HOW TO FLUSH THE OLD OIL OUT OF THE OIL BATH HUBS

Before you begin check the hub for leaks and wear.  Replace components as necessary.

1.) Roll the hub until the fill plug is on top.

2.) Drain the hub by removing the cap.

3.) Use light weight motor oil to flush out remaining oil. (After draining the old oil)

      *There is no need to tilt the hub, the oil will flow through the bearing easily.

4.) Replace cap. Torque cap to 30-40 ft. lbs.

5.) Replace oil with 80-90WT Sta-Lube from NAPA. (This oil has a rust inhibitor additive)

HOW TO ADD OIL TO OIL BATH HUBS

 

IMPORTANT: Use Napa STA-Lube - GL5 80/90 WT with Rust Inhibitors FL2472 for the Oil Bath Hubs. 

1.) Remove breather plug. (3/4” Wrench)

2.)  Use an oiler hand pump to add 80-90WT Sta-Lube oil from NAPA. 

       

It takes 8 ounces  to fill hubs to the recommended level.

3.) Replace breather plug. First hand tighten, then use 3/4” wrench to make a 1/4” of a turn.

        

WARNING

 

BE CERTAIN ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF WHEN SERVICING THE GRAVITY WAGON.

• 

Check the gravity wagon  periodically for cracks in welds and for other structural damage.  Have cracked welds fixed immediately.  

Failure to do so could result in extensive damage to the gravity wagon and greatly reduce the life of the unit.

• 

Check all hydraulic hoses for wear and replace as necessary. (If equipped) 

• 

Make sure all tires are properly inflated.  See INITIAL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE in the Owner’s Manual for recommended 

instructions for tire pressure.  It is important that tires are inspected before and after unit loaded.

• 

Follow the lubrication service schedual above to ensure proper lubrication.  

• 

Check that the lug nuts are properly torqued to 350 ft lbs.

Your local, authorized dealer can supply genuine replacement parts.  Substitute parts may not meet original equipment specifica-

tions and may be dangerous.

When performing maintenance work, wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing 

and head.  Follow Operator’s Manual instructions to ensure safe and proper maintenance and repair.

BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF TO THE GRAIN CART BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR WORK.

Routine Maintenance

IMPORTANT:

  When the gravity wagon is not going to be used for a period of time, store the unit  in a dry, protected place.  Leaving 

your gravity wagon outside, open to the weather will shorten it’s life.
Follow the procedure below when your gravity wagon is placed in storage for periods up to six months.

1.  Wash or clean and completely lubricate the grain cart.  See the lubrication service section in this manual.

2.  Remove all grain from inside the grain tank.

3.  Touch up areas where paint may have worn away.  Use a good quality primer paint, especially before re-applying graphite paint 

to the interior slopes of the grain tank.

4.  Clean the tires before storage.  Inflate the tires at regular intervals.
