NOTICE
After greasing, be sure to reset the count of the controller. (See "TROUBLESHOOTING (PAGE 6-37)".)
Be sure to use the special grease pump (566-96-6A840) and supply grease with it according to the following
procedures, taking care not to let air or dust get in to the grease. Supply grease while the ambient temperature is

1. Prepare a new 18-kg (40 lb) grease pail and remove the cover. Press the follower plate of the grease pump
against the greasing surface, then insert the pump and set special cover (1) to the pail. Then, operate the handle
of the pump and confirm that clean grease comes out of the hose end.
2. Remove the cap of the grease filler of the pump and screw in the hose fitting, then operate the pump.
3. When grease is supplied for the first time, there is usually some air under the follower plate (2). If grease is
supplied to the upper limit, however, the air is bled through the small hole on the side of the tank. When supplying
grease next time and there after, stop supplying it when it reaches the bottom of this air bleed hole.
4. After supplying grease, remove the hose fitting and fit the cap to the grease filler of the grease pump without fail.
Keep the pump and pail in a clean place.
