Lubrication Schedule

Wipe away excess grease after lubrication.

It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the 

belts or the drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. 

Should this happen, attempt to clean them with 

spirits. If the belt continues to slip after cleaning, 

it must be replaced. Gasoline or other petroleum 

products must not be used to clean belts.
