NOTICE
If the equalizer cap and tube assembly is
equipped with a nonrelief grease fitting, excessive
lubrication can damage the bushings.
Lubricate the equalizer cap and tube assembly bush-
ings by applying multipurpose chassis grease at the
pressure relief grease fitting. See
with a hand gun or pressure gun until grease is
forced out from the base of the pressure-relief fitting.

Hendrickson
The Hendrickson RS Series Haulmaax®, HN®, and
Primaax® suspensions do not require lubrication.
For Hendrickson RT® and RTE® series suspensions,
lubricate the bronze, ball-indented bushings in the
spring eye, as follows:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brakes, and chock the front tires.
2. Raise the rear of the vehicle until the rear wheels
are suspended in the air, then support the ve-
hicle with safety stands. This relieves the load on
the bushings and pins to allow the proper flow of
lubricant around them.
3. Using a multipurpose chassis grease, lubricate
the bronze, ball-indented bushings in the spring
eyes at the grease fitting; see
lubricate until grease exits both ends of the
bushing. If the pin will not accept lubricant, re-
move the pin and clean the lubrication channels
where lubricant may have hardened.
4. Lower the vehicle and remove the safety stands.
