■ GEAR CASE
The reduction gears are lubricated by
multipurpose, lithium-based grease in the
gearcase.
Supply new grease every 25 hours of use or more
often depending on the job condition.
When adding lubricant, use a grease gun to insert
lubricant into the three grease nipples located on
the gear case. (MA9)

performance. Check and clean the filter element
