Lubricate every 100 operating hours as follows:
Inject grease as recommended below through one fit-
ting located beneath an access panel in the operator’s
cab just behind the shift lever, as the machine is rotat-
ed at least two complete revolutions. When complete
rotation is impractical, inject grease through each fit-
ting and rotate machine back and forth as far as possi-
ble as each fitting is greased.
Under extremely dirty or dusty conditions, sufficient
grease should be added to flush out contaminated
grease. Under less severe conditions, add grease until
it appears at the bottom seal.
While swinging the machine, apply gear grease to the
external ring gear with sufficient frequency to insure
that the teeth remain coated.
