DEALER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for dealer ser-
vice personnel. The repair described here requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in
this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead
to replace complete assemblies.
Before working underneath, read manual
instructions, securely block up, and check stability.
Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop-
ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system
failure, or mechanical component failure.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
BLOCKING METHOD
See instructions on page 14.

shop is not properly equipped or your mechanics are
not trained in this type of repair, you may be time and
money ahead to use a new spindle assembly.
For reference, the grease fitting is in the top of the spin-
dle shaft.
