Place the roller on a level base. The engine
must be switched off and the parking brake

the roller unless stated otherwise.
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 be-
fore lubricating.

Wipe the nipples clean from grease and dirt.
Grease the nipples (3 and 4) with five strokes of the
grease gun.
Turn the steering wheel fully to the right to gain access
to the forward grease nipple on the left steering cylinder
and the nipple on the bearing cover. Allow a little grease
to remain on the nipples after greasing. This will prevent
contamination from entering the nipples.
Wipe the nipples clean from grease and dirt.
Grease each nipple (1 and 2) with five strokes of the
grease gun. Ensure that grease penetrates the
bearings.
If grease does not penetrate the bearings, it
may be necessary to relieve the articulation
joint with a jack while repeating the greasing
process.
