CHASSIS INFORMATION — 10
Brake actuating components require
lubrication to keep the actuating components
freely operating. Avoid contaminating brake
linings with lubricant. Particular care and
attention to details should be taken when
lubricating brake actuating components. Wheel
removal may be necessary to gain access the
grease ttings.
NOTE:
Suspension, steering, brake and
drivetrain components are lubricated at
the factory using Texaco Starplex NLGI
2 Lithium Soap based grease.
To apply grease:
Clean the grease tting. Initially operate
grease gun until new lubricant discharges
from nozzle, then wipe nozzle clean to
avoid introducing contaminants into the
component.
Snap nozzle onto grease tting. Nozzle
must remain in line with the grease
tting during the application process. If
the nozzle is not in line, lubricant will
collect around nozzle and grease tting,
failing to lubricate the component.
Wrap the nozzle with a paper towel
or rag to prevent contamination and
accidental soiling of other areas.
If the component does not accept grease the
Zerk tting may be plugged or damaged. Zerk
ttings are replaceable and generally available at
most auto supply stores. Zerk ttings come in a
variety of angles depending on the application.
Every effort should be made to lubricate the
component, as neglect will only result in
premature component failure.
NOTE:
Some grease fittings may not be
accessible until the steering wheel is
turned or the motorhome is moved
slightly.
