Greasing and Lubrication
Service Interval/Specification
Grease all bearings and bushings every 25 operating hours.
Grease more frequently (daily) when operating conditions
are extremely dusty or sandy.
Grease Type: General-purpose lithium base grease
How to Grease
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the parking
brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.
2. Clean the grease fittings with a rag. Make sure to scrape
any paint off of the front of the fitting(s).
3. Connect a grease gun to the fitting. Pump grease into
the fittings until grease begins to ooze out of the
bearings.
4. Wipe up any excess grease.
Where to Add Grease
1. Lubricate the wheel bearings (Fig. 18).
