While this statement is not true, there are major differences that I know of between excavators that could affect the operation of the VH Mulcher as a planting spot preparation machine. This is also done every 3-4 hours. The most important greasing is done before the operator leaves the machine at the end of the work shift. Usually in caulking gun tube container. 10 tubes plus one half litre or half pint of 80-90 W gear oil is required in the 3 inch bung opening.
Daily inspection is recommended to ensure teeth remain lubricated or coated.
The secret is to keep the lubricant moist but not overly thinned or runny. This way the lubricant does not become dry or caked. Storage Always grease the machine completely, rotate the bearing, cap all lines or hoses, position the head at an angle to allow moisture to run off, and store covered from the weather. Loose Nuts and Bolts Due to rugged conditions and vibrations, tightening loose nuts will be necessary. A visual check should be done at every greasing to avoid difficulties.
