7.0. Service Procedures
The rugged design and simple construction of the AX
lubrication system assures the operator of a long and
trouble-free service. If service is necessary, use the
following procedures to ensure proper disassembly
and assembly of components.
Refer to figure 3 or 4 – Exploded View for the
location of the components referenced in the
following procedures. Refer to
REPLACEMENT
PARTS
for kit ordering information.
Because of the critical nature of supplying clean
lubricant to the lubrication points, the AX must be
serviced in a clean area, without potential of
contamination.
CAUTION
At any time the AX is disassembled for service,
the exposed components should be cleaned and
checked for wear or damage.
DO NOT USE
ACETONE-BASED SOLVENTS TO CLEAN
. Use
clean towels to wipe the surfaces clean of excess
lubricant. Solvents will harm the reservoir.
WARNING
Unless otherwise noted, whenever servicing any
AX lubrication system component, disconnect
electrical power from the system at the nearest
disconnects before beginning.
Observe appropriate safety procedures to prevent
any accidents while servicing the AX system.
