8.2 Grease Points
Use an SAE multi-purpose high temperature grease
with extreme pressure (EP) performance. Also
acceptable is an SAE multipurpose lithium-based
grease.
Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing. Pump
one shot of grease slowly into each fitting.
•
Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before
greasing to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
• If fittings do not take grease, remove and clean
them thoroughly. Replace grease fittings as
necessary.
IMPORTANT! Do not over grease. Pumping more
than one shot from a grease gun into the bearings
can push the grease out of the seals. Doing that
repeatedly can damage the seals. Grease is then
not kept in, and dirt and moisture are not kept out.
