1. LUBRICATION
Lubricate the top swivel bearing and the bottom swivel bush. They are provided with grease fitting
for pressure lubrication (Fig. 1). These grease fittings should be serviced every 6,250 miles (10 000
km) or twice a year whichever comes first. Good quality lithium-base grease NLGI No. 2 (Shell
Retinax LX or equivalent) is recommended.
Wheel hubs use oil lubrication which eliminates periodic grease repacking of the hubs. A sight glass
is provided for convenient check of oil level. Oil level should be checked daily and must be
maintained to the level mark in the sight glass. If oil is not visible through the sight glass, general
purpose gear lubricant SAE 90 (A.P.I. spec. GL5) must be added by removing the fill plug in center
of the hub cap to bring oil to the correct level. To check oil level after vehicle has been driven, wait at
least 15 minutes to ensure that oil has settled. For hub unit removal or repairing, drain hub oil from
drain plug (Fig. 1).
