IV MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC GREASING DETAILS
Greasing is an important factor in extending the service life of many items on your Mini-
Skid including cylinders, axle bearings and pivot pins.
GREASING THE HUBS AND BEARINGS
Only bearing grease such as Darina EP2 grease should be used on the hubs. The rear
hubs on a 1350 machine have grease points located midway along the top of the hubs. A
1350 also has grease points on the bearing blocks located on either side of the front track
wheels and on the track rollers.
When greasing the hubs and bearings care should be taken to avoid over greasing which
can damage grease seals. These points come greased, and require at most 1 or 2 shots of
grease. DO NOT grease until grease squeezes out the side of the seals.
The outside track rollers and front and rear inner rollers can be greased from the side of
the machine. To grease the central inner track roller raise the lift arm and lock it in place,
the central roller can then be accessed from the front of the machine. It may be necessary
to move the machine backwards or forwards to access all the roller grease zerks.
