USE BIRO No. 374 GREASE FOR RE-GREASING
SEE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
When lubricating the upper wheel bearing it is important that the three hex head
screws securing the upper wheel hub cap be loosened slightly before attempting to
pump grease into the grease fitting. Loosening the screws allows for an escape of
old broken down grease and air from the bearing cavity. Failure to loosen the screw
before greasing the upper bearings can cause the upper shaft seal to be dislodged
from the upper wheel allowing grease to escape and moisture to get into the cavity.
When finished greasing the bearings, retighten the three screws. Take care to also
clean off any grease that was forced out of the cavity during greasing.
