MAINTENANCE
Lubrication Information
Before operating your Maverick, take the time to inspect and repair any damage to the machine or tractor.
Only a minimum of time and effort is required to regularly maintain this machine to provide long life and trouble
free operation. Use a high quality NLGI EP#2 Lithium based grease on all grease points on the unit (P/N
00765444)
FRAME:
The frame used to connect the boom to the tractor utilizes a bearing and cylinders for the boom swing
movement. Locate the 3 grease points on the large bearing, also locate the grease manifold mounted next to
the bearing on the frame. Underneath the frame are two pivot points on the cylinder rod ends that require
grease. Add 2 to 3 pumps daily into each of these points.
To fully grease the rotator bearing swing boom to forward most position. Grease bearing in the three locations
until grease is ejected out of the lip seal. Repeat the grease application for four more intervals after swinging
the boom towards the rear in 30° movements. Lube rotator bearing daily. With the boom straight out and head
on the ground grease the two swing cylinder rod ends with 2 to 3 pumps daily.
BOOM ARM:
Your Maverick Boom uses greasable bushings that need lubrication and should last the lifetime of the machine
if properly maintained. Locate grease points at all pivots and grease daily.
DRIVELINE:
The driveline powering the hydraulic system may have a universal joint at each end. Check you tractor and
locate the grease points on the driveline that is connected from the front engine pulley to the front mounted
pump. Grease weekly.
