Service information
Lubricants
Specific lubricants as recommended by Snorkel, should
be used in maintaining your unit. If in doubt regarding the
use of lubricants other than those listed, contact Snorkel
Customer Service Department, St. Joseph Missouri, for
evaluation and recommendation.
Refer to the above lubrication illustration for location of
item numbers.
Pressure gun application
Service all fittings as indicated in the Maintenance
Schedule and lubrication illustration. Wipe away all ex-
cess lubricant from exposed surfaces. Over lubrication
can collect dirt and foreign matter which acts as an abra-
sive. Lubrication of accessory equipment should be in
accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Rotation bearing
Rotation bearing (item 1.): Pressure gun lubricate bear-
ing at recommended interval using lubricant as outlined
in the maintenance schedule. Rotate while lubricating.
Lubrication fitting is located on the lower control box.
Rotation gear teeth and pinion
Rotation gear teeth and pinion (item 2.): Gear teeth and
gear box pinion should be lubricated with a spray-on
type open gear lubricant.
Tie rods
Tie rods (item 3.): Lubricate at recommended interval
using lubricant as outlined in the maintenance schedule.
Swing drive
Swing drive (item 4.): To check oil level, remove check
plug located on the side of the gear box. Unit is full if oil is
level with bottom of fill hole or just starts to run out.
Gear hubs
Gear hubs (item 5.): To check and fill Gear hubs:
1. Rotate wheel until bottom of filler/drain plug is
about 1 inch above horizontal centerline.
2. Remove plug with drive ratchet and extension.
3. Fill until lubricant is level with bottom of fill hole.
Note:
Do not overfill gear hubs as they are not vented and
need air space for expansion of oil to prevent damage
to hubs.
Hydraulic oil reservoir
Hydraulic oil reservoir (item 6.): The fluid level should be
kept between the low and full marks on the sight gauge
indicator and should be checked with all cylinders fully
retracted and the platform in stowed position.
The interior of the reservoir should be wiped out and
