Lubrication
Recommendations
Always use a good quality multi-purpose / lithium
base grease when lubricating the equipment.
• 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.
WARNING
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
Stop engine, set brake, remove ignition key,
and wait for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging.
Support the equipment with blocks or safety
stands before working beneath it.
Follow good shop practices:
•
Keep service area clean and dry
• Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded

Use adequate light for the job.
Use only tools, jacks, and hoists of sufficient
capacity for the job.
Replace and secure all shields removed during
servicing before operating.

cardboard to look for leaks, and use hand and
eye protection.
Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before
repairing or adjusting.
