LUBRICATION FITTINGS
The following lubrication points(refer to the Lubrica-
tion Chart, page
32 ) require the application of a
good quality grease every 50 hours. In extremely
dirty conditions, lubrication should be more often.
Refer to page
35 for the type of grease that should
be used.
Steering Linkage
Front Axle Pivot
Pedal shaft, Clutch and Brake Pedals
3-point linkage
Front-wheel drive shaft
H.S.T. foot pedal shaft(if equipped)
Power Steering Cylinder
1. Wipe away all old grease and dirt from the
lubrication fittings to prevent dirt or foreign
material from entering the fittings when new
grease is applied.
2. Use a high pressure grease gun to force in the
new grease until clean grease oozes from the
assembly being lubricated.
3. Wipe away any excess grease.
