4.1 Lubrication & General
Maintenance Introduction
Lubrication Points
You should become familiar with the location of all
components that require frequent lubrication and
include them in the general maintenance schedule.
Some of these lubrication points require special-
ized lubricants. The lubrication points shown in
the photos and listed in the Lubrication Charts
on the following pages in this section provide a
guide to the location of the lubrication points on
your machine.
NOTICE:
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SHOW ALL VALVES, HINGES,
LATCHES AND SAFETY PINS ON THE LUBRICATION CHARTS.
RELATED ITEMS NOT SHOWN SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED
IN YOUR MAINTENANCE ROUTINE.
Refer to the Maintenance Matrix chart in the
Scheduled Maintenance section in this manual
and component manufacturer’s operating and/or
maintenance manuals for lubricant specifications
and maintenance schedules.
Some lubrication points require grease weekly.
In extremely wet or dirty conditions the require-
ments could increase. The lubrication frequency
outlined in this section should be considered the
minimum requirement.
Before operating or performing any maintenance
on the vehicle make sure the machine is properly
shutdown and secured in the service position.
Service Position
Properly shutting down and securing the machine
for service is critical to the safety of the operator
and/or service personnel.
Use the following procedure to place the
machine in the service position:
1. Make sure all components lifted hydraulically
are lowed to the ground or properly supported
to remove the load from cylinders and hinges.
2. Park vehicle on a level area and block wheels.
3. Apply parking brake.
4. Shutdown the engine and disable the truck
electrical system at the main battery switch
and circuit breakers.
5. Follow all Lockout/tagout and additional shut-
down procedures established in your company
safety guidelines to complete the service
position.
