Lubrication
Greasing the Bearings and
Bushings
Service Interval: Every 50 hours—Grease the bearings and
bushings.
Every 400 hours—Grease the transmission bypass
pins.
Every 400 hours—Grease the rear axle bearings. (Or
yearly, whichever comes first)
The machine 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 (Figure 36). Also grease the bearings in the rear
axle every 500 hours.

2. Pump grease into the bearing or bushing.
3. Wipe up excess grease.
