MAINTENANCE
BEARING ASSEMBLY AND LUBRICATION
Practice Safety
Understand and practice safe service procedures before doing work. Follow ALL
the operating, maintenance and safety information in the equipment operator
manual. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children, when performing
any maintenance or adjustments. Keep work area clean and dry. Use adequate
lighting for the job. Use only tools, jacks and hoists of sufficient capacity for the
job.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet,
and clothing from power-driven moving and rotating parts. Disengage all power
and operate controls to relieve pressure. Lower equipment to the ground and
stop the engine. Remove the key. Wait for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging.
Securely support any machine elements with blocks or safety stands that must
be raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damaged equipment
immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any buildup of grease, oil,
or debris.
Make sure all guards are in place and properly secured when maintenance work
is completed.
