LUBRICATION INFORMATION
1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around
parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.
2. See Figure 5 for lubrication points and frequency of
lubrication based on normal operating conditions.
Severe or unusual conditions may require more
frequent lubrication.
3. Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a
MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all
locations unless otherwise noted. Be sure to clean
fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun.
One good pump of most guns is sufficient when the
lubrication schedule is followed.
Gearbox Lubrication
4. For gearbox, use a high quality gear oil with a
viscosity index of 80W or 90W and an API service
rating of GL–4 or –5 in gearboxes.
