3. Greasing of the loader
Greasing of pivot points is very important to avoid wear.
Most of the greasing points are on the loader boom. The
following table and pictures show the location of grease
nipples.
Suitable lubrication interval depends heavily on operating
conditions. Check the need of lubrication at least after
every 10 hours of use. Add grease if the joints have
become dirty. Adequate lubrication of the joints must be
ensured. Lack of lubrication will cause the joints to wear
quickly.
Use general purpose machine grease. A grease gun is
needed to apply grease to grease nipples. All lubrication
nipples are standard R1/8” nipples. Replace any
damaged nipples.
Clean the end of the nipple before greasing and add only
a small amount of grease at a time. New lubricant will
push out dirt from joints. Wipe excess grease with a cloth.
Greasing points are listed in the following table.
