Place the roller on a level surface. Switch the
engine off and push in the reserve/parking
brake knob for all checking and adjustments
on the roller, unless otherwise specified.
Allow no one to get near the steering joint
when the engine is running. Danger of being
crushed when steering is operated. Push
the reserve/parking brake knob before
lubricating.
Turn the steering wheel fully to the left to gain access to
all lubricating nipples of the steering system on the right-
hand side of the machine (x6).
Use grease as per the lubricant specification.
Wipe all the nipples clean from dirt and grease.
Lubricate each nipple (4 and 5) with two strokes of a
grease gun.
Turn the steering wheel fully to the right to gain access
to the front lubricating nipple on the left steering
cylinder and the lubricating nipple on the bearing bush-
ing. Allow a little grease to remain on the nipples after
lubrication, it will prevent dirt from entering.
Wipe off any dirt and grease from the nipples.
Lubricate each nipple (1, 2, and 3) with five strokes of a
manual grease gun. Check that grease penetrates
through the bearings.
If grease does not penetrate through the bearings, it
may be necessary to relieve the load on the articulated
joint with a hydraulic jack and then repeat the greasing
process.
