and other contaminants.
GREASING
Use a Maintenance Checklist to keep record of all scheduled maintenance.
1. Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing.
2. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
3. Replace and repair broken fittings immediately.
If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly. Also
clean lubricant passageway. Replace fitting if necessary.
