GENERAL INFORMATION
LUBRICATION
Economical and efficient operation of any machine is dependent upon regular and proper lubrication of
all moving parts with a quality lubricant. Neglect leads to reduced efficiency, wear, breakdown and
needless replacement of parts. All parts provided with grease fittings should be lubricated as indicated.
If any grease fittings are missing, replace them immediately. Clean all fittings thoroughly before using
the grease gun.
IMPORTANT: Avoid excessive greasing. Dirt collects on exposed grease and greatly increases wear.
After greasing, wipe off excessive grease from fittings.
LUBRICATION SYMBOLS
The following symbols are used on the lubrication diagram below. It is reproduced here with its
meaning for your convenience.
