.
Grease every 40 hours of use.
Lubrication
Always use a good quality multi-purpose / lithium
base grease when lubricating the equipment.
IMPORTANT
Do not over-grease bearings. Greasing too often
can damage seals and lead to premature bearing
failure.
• Always use a hand-held grease gun.
• Clean fitting before greasing, to avoid injecting dirt
and grit.
• Replace and repair broken fittings immediately.
• If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean
thoroughly. Replace fitting if necessary.
IMPORTANT
Fluid such as engine oil, hydraulic fluid,
coolants, grease, etc. must be disposed of in an
environmentally safe manner. Some regulations
require that certain spills and leaks on the ground
must be cleaned in a specific manner. See local,
state and federal regulations for the correct
disposal.
