Lubrication
General
CAUTION Waxoyl contains turpentine substitute which is flammable. Keep flames away when applying
Waxoyl. Waxoyl can take a few weeks to dry completely. Keep flames away during the drying period.
Do not weld near the affected area during the drying period. Take the same precautions as for oil to keep
Waxoyl off your skin. Do not breathe the fumes. Apply in a well-ventilated area.
You must grease the machine regularly to keep it working efficiently. Regular greasing will also lengthen the
machine's working life.
Refer to the individual condition checks throughout the Maintenance section.
The machine must always be greased after pressure washing or steam cleaning.
Greasing must be done with a grease gun. Normally, two strokes of the grease gun is sufficient. Stop greasing
when fresh grease appears at the joint.
Use only the recommended type of grease. Do not mix different types of grease, keep them separate.
Attach the dust caps after greasing (if installed).
Preparation
Make the machine safe. Refer to: Maintenance Position (Excavator Arm Lowered) (Page 122).
You can complete the greasing procedures with the excavator lowered.
