Risk of injury. Keep everyone clear of the
articulated steering mechanism while the
engine is running.
Turn the steering wheel fully to the left to gain access
to all six lubricating nipples on the right-hand side of
the machine.
Use grease recommended in Lubricant
Specification.
1. Wipe all the nipples clean from dirt and grease.
2. Lubricate each nipple (1) with five strokes of the
grease gun. Make sure that grease penetrates the
bearings.
3. If grease does not penetrate the bearings it may be
necessary to relieve the articulated joint with a jack
and repeat the greasing procedure.
