8.2 LUBRICATION
8.2.1 ELEVATION CONTROL WORM GEAR
In the event that the elevation control operation becomes stiff, grease may be applied to the elevation worm gear grease port. Turn the
hand wheel to raise the nozzle to its highest position and pump medium viscosity automotive chassis grease into the grease fitting.
Apply only enough grease to restore normal operation. If greasing does not restore normal operation, inspect for other causes of stiff
operation.
Figure 8.2.1
8.2.2 HORIZONTAL ROTATION WORM GEAR
The Hurricane RC and Hurricane monitor generally should not require greasing in the Horizontal (left-right) worm gear. In the event that
the operation becomes stiff, grease may be applied to the horizontal worm gear grease port. Use medium viscosity automotive chassis
grease. Apply only enough grease to restore normal operation. If greasing does not restore normal operation, inspect for other causes of
stiff operation.
Figure 8.2.2
8.3 TROUBLESHOOTING
Do not over pump grease. The monitor’s greased areas lead to large chambers that could trap
several pounds of grease before becoming visible.
