4.3E Lubrication
There are six (6) lubrication points on
this machine that require regular service.
Use a high quality lithium based grease.
For grease fittings, apply two (2) shots per
fitting, for inner tubes, lubricate with
enough grease to ensure proper movement.
The two (2) shaker drive shaft bearings
require weekly lubrication, or every seven-
ty two (72) hours of operation, whichever
comes first (Refer to T90022). Apply 15
shots of Mobile SHC 220 (or equivalent)
per grease fitting.
The front hydraulic lift cylinder has two
(2) grease fittings and two (2) inner tubes
that require lubrication. Grease each one
before transporting the machine to a new
location (Refer to T90115).
When performing maintenance, ensure the
engine is off and the ignition key is
removed to prevent accidental start up.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury DO NOT
charge a frozen battery because it can
explode. Let the battery warm to 60°F
(15.5°C) before putting on a charger.
