Regular lubrication of the attachment is absolutely vital to proper operation and long life of the attachment.
The speed valve feature accelerates the shear cycle time and allows the shear to open and close more often
throughout the day. This makes it necessary to lubricate the shear more frequently than was required with
older models. Use premium grease No. 2EP or equivalent and lubricate all points every 4 hours of operation.
Grease fi tting locations are indicated in Figure 5-1 and by the “GREASE” decals on the attachment. Grease
all fi ttings at the main pivot group with the shear jaws open AND with the shear jaws closed to evenly dis-
tribute the grease throughout the pivot group.
