CAUTION: Hydraulic pressure — can push out seals and push grease into unwanted
areas (example: motor windings).
� Use a hand grease gun. A power grease gun gives too much pressure.
� Know the quantity of grease your grease gun gives each cycle (each
stroke).
� Operate the grease gun slowly (10 to 12 seconds for one cycle).
� Add only the specified quantity. Stop if new grease come out of a drain port or other
opening.
� Remove spilled grease from belts and pulleys.
The tables give grease quantities in fluid ounces (fl oz) and milliliters (mL). You can also use
grease gun cycles (strokes). A cycle is each time that you pull the trigger. One cycle is usually ap-
proximately 0.06 fl oz (1.8 mL). Your grease gun can give more or less than this. Measure the
output of your grease gun as follows:
• Make sure that the grease gun operates correctly.
• Operate the grease gun to put grease into a small container with fluid ounce or milliliter incre-
ments. Pull the trigger fully and slowly.
• Add a sufficient quantity of grease to measure accurately. Count the number of cycles of the
grease gun (the number of times that you pull the trigger).
• Calculate the quantity for each cycle of the grease gun, as in the following examples.
