Lubrication
Greasing Bearings And
Bushings
The traction unit has grease fittings that must be lubricated
regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease.
If machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate
all bearings and bushings after every 50 hours of operation.
Bearings and bushings must be lubricated daily when
operating conditions are extremely dusty and dirty. Dusty
and dirty operating conditions could cause dirt to get into
the bearings and bushings, resulting in accelerated wear.
Lubricate grease fitting immediately after every washing,
regardless of interval specified.
Apply a liberal coating of grease to the check valve pins
once each year (Fig. 22). Also grease the bearings in the
rear axle every 500 hours, or yearly, whichever comes first
(not shown). The bearing and bushing lubrication points
are:
• PTO universal shaft (Fig. 23)
• Lift arm pivot bushings (Fig. 24)
• Brake pivot bushings (Fig. 25)
• Brake cables (drive wheel and brake pedal ends)
(Fig. 25).
• PTO tension pivot (Fig. 26)
• Rear PTO bearing (Fig. 26)
• Rear wheel spindle bushings (Fig. 27)
• Steering plate bushings (Fig. 28)
• Axle pin bushing (Fig. 28)
1. Wipe grease fitting clean so foreign matter cannot be
forced into the bearing or bushing.
2. Pump grease into the bearing or bushing.
3. Wipe up excess grease.
