• Replace any hydraulic hose immediately that shows signs
of swelling, wear, leaks or damage before it bursts.
• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines, tubes or hoses,
or reinstall them in a bent or damaged condition.
• Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or
damaged, and are routed to avoid chafing.
• Never adjust a pressure relief valve or other pressure-
limiting device to a higher pressure than specified.

9.3 Grease Points
IMPORTANT! Do not over grease a bearing. More than one
pump of grease can push grease out of the bearing seals.
Too much grease can cause the bearing seals to fail.
Look for this type of label on the machine. Each
label identifies a grease point and shows the
greasing interval in hours.
Use an SAE multi-purpose high temperature grease with
extreme pressure (EP) performance. Also acceptable is an SAE
multipurpose lithium-based grease.
• Use a clean cloth to clean each grease fitting before you
apply grease. This prevents grease and dirt from getting
inside the component.
• Use a hand-held grease gun to apply one pump of grease to
each grease point.
• If a grease fitting is damaged, replace it immediately.
• If a grease fitting does not accept grease:
a. Remove the grease fitting.
b. Clean the passageway behind the grease fitting.
c. Clean the grease fitting thoroughly or get a new grease
fitting.
d. Install the grease fitting.
