SECTION 6
OIL, FILTER AND LUBRICATION INFORMATION
When applying the chain lube, protect the brake discs with a
rag or simple cardboard shield (Figure 6-8). DO NOT SPRAY
CHAIN LUBE ON THE BRAKE DISCS OR PADS. Roll the
vehicle so that all of the idler chain is accessible for lubrication.
Figure 6-8. Lubricating the idler chain.
Do not use regular oil or grease to lubricate the idler chains.
Regular oil or grease will be thrown off the idler chains dur
-
ing normal operation, and contaminate the brake pads or
discs. When these components become contaminated, brake
effectiveness can be compromised or complete brake failure
can occur.
After every 100 hours of operation or for prolonged periods of
storage, remove both idler chains from the vehicle and clean
them thoroughly in a suitable solvent. Allow the idler chains to
dry thoroughly, re-lubricate them generously with Argo chain
lube and re-install. (Refer to section 7.2.5 of this manual for
idler chain removal and re-installation instructions.)
6.4.6 Outer Axle Bearing Lubrication
DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE
PNEUMATIC GREASING EQUIPMENT
Each outer axle flange is equipped with one grease fitting. This
grease fitting supplies grease directly to the outer axle bearing.
It requires re-greasing every 25 hours of operation or before
the vehicle is taken out of service for any extended period. Use
a pistol grip type grease gun to avoid dislocating the bearing
seals due to excessive grease pressure. Figure 6-10.
Figure 6-10. Outer bearing flange.
To promote regular maintenance of important Argo compo-
nents, Ontario Drive & Gear has provided an access hole
through each rim and hub for ease of bearing lubrication.
Do not use high pressure or excessive amounts of grease.
Damage to the bearing seals could result.
6.4.7 Idler Shaft Bearing Lubrication
CLA
Left and right hand side inner and outer idler shaft bearings
are fitted with a right angled grease fitting. With the front
floor pan and firewall removed, the left side inner idler shaft's
grease fitting is accessible at the bottom of the bearing flange.
The right side idler shaft's inner grease fitting is located at
the top of the flange. Both outer idler shaft bearing grease
fittings are located at the top of the flange. All of these can be
accessed conveniently with a grease gun fitted with a flexible
extension head. Figure 6-11, Right Side Idler Shaft.
Grease with a small amount of a lithium based, NLGI #2
or #3 mineral oil based grease, (such as Shell Alvania #3)
or ARGO Brand Multi-Purpose Grease Part No. 130-105).
Apply every 50 hours of operation, if vehicle has been used
in water for extended periods of time or whenever major
maintenance is performed on the vehicle.
