GENERAL INFORMATION A N D LUBRICATION 0-13
BATTERY
Add distilled water every 30 days. May require more
frequent additions during high ambient temperatures
and/or extended trip operation. Clean terminals yearly
and apply petroleum.
ITEMS NOT NORMALLY REQUIRING
SERVICE
STARTING MOTOR
No lubrication required except on overhaul. When
overhauling starting motor, add a few drops of engine
oil to the bronze bushings in both end frames.
ALTERNATOR
The alternator is designed and constructed to give long
periods of trouble-free service with a limited amount
of maintenance. The rotor is mounted on a ball
bearing and a roller bearing. Both bearings have a
grease supply which eliminates the need for periodic
lubrication. The alternator brushes are extra long and
under normal operating conditions will provide ex-
tended service.
CONVERTiBLE HYDROELECTRIC PUMP MOTOR
The hydroelectric pump motor does not require
periodic service.
CLUTCH RELEASE BEARING
The clutch release bearing requires no periodic
lubrication. It is a ball bearing, lubricated and sealed
for life.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Periodic lubrication is not required. When installing a
new drive cable, apply a light coat of speedometer
cable grease wiping off all excess along full length of
the cable.
CAUTION:
Excessive amounts of lubricant can cause
speedometer head failure. Lubricate new drive cables
on&.
