Greasing the Bearings and
Bushings
The traction unit has grease fittings that must be lubricated
regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease.
If the machine is operated under normal conditions,
lubricate bearings and bushings after every 50 hours of
operation. Bearings and bushings must be lubricated daily
when operating conditions are extremely dusty and dirty.
Dusty and dirty operating conditions could cause dirt to get
into the bearings and bushings, resulting in accelerated
wear.
The traction unit bearings and bushings that must be
lubricated are: steering column (Fig. 38), steering gears (2)
(under the skirt below the steering sector), steering shaft (2)
(Fig. 39), lift arms (3) (Fig. 40), rear lift cylinder pivot
(Fig. 40), pivot rods (3) (Fig. 41), traction pedal pivot
(Fig. 42) and neutral centering (Fig. 43)
Also, apply grease to slots in cylinder support (Fig. 44).
