The idler shaft bearing flanges are fitted with grease fittings. These bearings should be
greased with a small amount of a lithium based grease, NLGI #2 or #3 mineral oil (such as
Shell Alvania #3) every 100 hours of operation or whenever major maintenance is
performed on the vehicle. The grease fittings become more accessible when the idler
chains are removed. Alternatively, ARGO Part# 658-16 Right Angle Coupler, can be used
to access these fittings (also sold at automotive supply stores as a Right Angle Grease
Coupler, Thexton part no. 418) Photo WA-96 & 97
Do not use high pressure or excessive amounts of grease. Damage to the bearing
seals could result.
