Cayman 2006 Chassis Information — Section 10 • 273
To apply grease:
• Clean the grease fi 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 fi tting.
• Nozzle must line with the grease fi tting during the application process. If the nozzle is not in line, lubricant
will collect around nozzle and grease fi 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 fi tting may be plugged or damaged. Zerk fi ttings are
replaceable and generally available at most auto supply stores. Zerk fi 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.
