Lubrication
To help the various systems of your truck run
smoothly and extend the life time of the many critical
parts that affect performance, there is one thing that
you must do and that is:
LUBRICATE, LUBRICATE AND LUBRICATE!
Insufficient lubrication is a major cause of component
failure on all refuse vehicles. The A
UTOMIZER™, like
most equipment, has many points that require grease.
See the following sections for detailed lubrication
points on packer, cylinder pins, hopper door hinges
and body-chassis hinges.
Also, refer to the lubrication chart located on the side
of the vehicle for a complete list of lube locations and
the frequency with which they should be greased.
Recommended Lubricants
You will find below the recommended types of
lubricants.
Grease
Any lithium-based commercial multipurpose grease
may be used.

Any ISO Grade 32 hydraulic oil. This type of
hydraulic oil provides excellent wide temperature
range working condition.
Viscosity of 32.0 cSt at 104 °F (40 °C).
