lubricated regularly with No. 2 lithium grease.
Lubricate the bearings and bushings daily when the
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 the grease fittings
