Greasing
You must grease the machine regularly to keep it working
efficiently. Regular greasing will also lengthen the
machine's working life.
Greasing should be done with a grease gun. Normally, two
strokes of the gun should be enough. Stop greasing when
fresh grease appears at the joint.
For the type of grease to use at each point, see Fluids
and Lubricants - Capacities and Specifications.
Slew Ring Teeth and Slew Pinion
Ensure slew ring is kept full of grease. Always grease
whenever the machine has been steam-cleaned.
For location of the slew ring gear refer to Component
Location Diagrams at the end of this section.

3 Slew the Machine
