Figure 10. Lubrication Points & Chart
LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
Figure 10Figure 10 shows the lubrication points. The
accompanying chart gives the frequency of lubrication
in operating hours, based on normal operating condi-
tions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more
frequent lubrication. Some reference numbers have
more than one location; be sure you lubricate all loca-
tions.
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations. Be
sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching
grease gun. When applied according to the lubrication
chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient.
