Lubrication
It is essential to clean components before lubri-
cating them because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components and make them hard to
move. Simply adding more grease to them will not
yield smooth moving components.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/
grease solvent cleaner and shop rags.
If you thoroughly clean the components in this
section before lubricating them, the result will
be silky smooth movement when turning the
handwheels, which will result in much higher
enjoyment on your part!
The following are the main components that
need to be lubricated:
•
Trunnion Slides and Orientation Gears
•
Worm Gears, Trunnion, and Bearing Housing
Teeth
Trunnion Slides
Clean out the front and rear trunnion slides with
mineral spirits and a rag, then apply lithium
grease into each groove. Move the blade tilt back-
and-forth to spread the grease (see
Figure 94).
