Lubrication

Greasing pivot points prevents wear and helps restrict

dirt from entering. However, once dirt does enter a

bearing, it combines with the lubricant and becomes

an abrasive grinding paste, more destructive than grit

alone.

• Apply new lubricant frequently during operation

to flush out old contaminated lubricant.

• Use a good grade of lithium based grease.

• Use a good grade of machine oil.

• Clean grease fittings and lubricator gun before

applying lubricant.

Refer to the photos for grease fitting locations.
