Lubrication charts on following pages will lo­
cate each lubrication point on the series shown
under each chart. Each point is numbered on the
charts, and each number is keyed to explanatory
text on same or opposite page.
Each item shown on charts requiring lubrica­
tion is covered with a lubricant symbol. Explan­
ations of symbols start on page following charts.
Explanations include type of lubricant recommend­
ed, and detailed instructions regarding its applica­
tion. The charts show recommended intervals when
various items should be lubricated. The intervals
are recommended for normal use; however, oper­
ating conditions may require more frequent inter­
vals. Recommended intervals should be followed
until operating experience indicates other periods.
No particular brand of lubricant is recom­
mended as many reputable oil dealers can furnish
the right lubricants when advised of the correct
specifications or descriptions. The lubricant man­
ufacturer must be responsible for the quality and
satisfactory performance of his product. His rep­
utation is your best indication of quality.
