LUBRICATION
8.1 GENERAL LUBRICATION PRACTICES ________________________________________
Lubrication coupled with cleanliness is the most
inexpensive preventative maintenance tool.
1.
Always clean the area around grease fittings before
and after lubricating.
2.
Apply grease with a grease gun and fill slowly until
grease begins to seep out. Do not use compressed
air guns.
3.
For smooth operation of all levers, pivot points and
other friction points, apply several drops of SAE 30
oil every 50 hours or as required.
8.2
GEAR HOUSINGS _________________________________________________________
Use one pint (0.473 l) in each gear housing. Insert
lubricant through filler plug (B) on top of housings.
To check level, remove plug (C) on gear housing.
8.3
WHEELS _________________________________________________________________
Wheel Bearings and cylinders should be repacked with
good quality, fibre base, wheel bearing grease twice each
season.
IMPORTANT:
Before reinstalling the hub cap, apply a
non hardening gasket compound, such as Permatex
No.2, to the threads.
