Lubricating the steering axle
e3881122
To lubricate the steering axle, the axle stubs
and the track rods each have two lubricating
nipples (see arrows).
ENVIRONMENT NOTE
Observe information regarding the use of
consumables.
NOTE
It is better to apply a li
ttle grease to the bearing
points frequently than
to apply a lot of grease
infrequently.
If used in areas with constant exposure to
dust, dirt, water and, if applicable, road
salt or chemicals, weekly lubrication will
considerably lengthen the service life of the
spherical bearings.
NOTE
For lubrication, use lubricating grease in
accordance with the recommendation for
consumables.
Use a grease gun to lubricate the bearings
of the axle stubs and the track rods at the
lubricating nipples until fresh lubricating
grease emerges at the bearing points.
