LUBRICATION
5.4.7. LUBRICATING FITTINGS
WARNING! Never run the engine when cleaning or lubricating the machine
because serious injury could result from contacting moving parts. Before
servicing the machine, be sure the engine is off, the bucket is lowered, the
transmission range gear lever locked in neutral position, the parking brake
applied and the electrical master switch is off and the key is removed.
The lubricating fittings (see Fig. 5.1.) are to be greased at the intervals indicated in the service
chart. Always use a clean lubricator. Wipe all accumulated dirt from fittings before applying fresh
grease. Apply grease at each fitting until fresh grease appears. If grease fails to go through the
fitting, determine the cause and correct it.
