Over lubrication of non-sealed fittings will not harm the fittings or com-
ponents, but under lubrication will definitely lead to a shorter lifetime.
On sealed U-Joints, care must be exercised to prevent rupturing seals. Fill
only until expansion of the seals first becomes visible.
Unless otherwise indicated, items not equipped with grease fittings, such as
linkages, pins, levers, etc., should be lubricated with oil once a week. Motor
oil, applied sparingly, will provide the necessary lubrication and help prevent
the formation of rust. An Anti-Seeze compound maybe used if rust has not
formed. Otherwise the component must be cleaned first.
Grease fittings that are worn and will not hold the grease gun, or those that
have a stuck check ball, must be replaced.
Where wear pads are used, cycle the components and relubricate to ensure
complete lubrication of the entire wear area.
The following describes the lubrication points and gives the lube type, lube
interval, lube amount, and application for each. Each lubrication point is
numbered, and this number corresponds to the index shown on the
