Lubrication and service chart
Greasing bearings
Lubrication is an important part of preventive maintenance. The
service life of bushings, bearings and bearings pins can be
extended considerably, if the machine is lubricated in a correct
way. A lubrication chart makes lubrication work easier and reduces
the risk of forgetting greasing points.
Lubrication has two main purposes:
– To supply grease to the bearing to reduce wear between the pin
and the bushing.
– To replace old, dirty grease. The grease stored inside the outer
seal collects dirt and water, and prevents them from penetrating
into the bearing.
Therefore grease the vehicle at the recommended intervals. Pump
2–3 strokes or until clean grease comes out and becomes visible
by the bearing. Plain bearings should be greased until clean
grease is forced out.
Wipe off grease nipples and the grease gun before greasing
to avoid introducing sand and dirt particles with the grease.
