Pivoting Function
A food grade grease is used to lubricate the friction components on the Axis.
The following pages highlight the most commonly lubricated components for
optimal functionality of the machine:
The hinge function should be smooth acting without binding or sticking.
Greasing these fittings regularly will flush out particulates and prevent failures.
a. The Axis has 8 zerk fittings used for lubrication. Using a
standard grease gun with a flexible nozzle, grease the fittings.
b. When greasing a zerk fitting, pump in lubrication until you see it
push out from between the hinge components. Wipe away the
excess that comes from between the hinge components.
c. Lubricate the hinges every 6 months or if any binding occurs.
