Service & Maintenance
GREASING
Use an SAE multi-purpose high temperature grease with
extreme pressure (EP) performance meeting or exceeding
the NLGI # 2 rating for all requirements. Also acceptable is
an SAE multi-purpose lithium based grease.
Care should be taken when re-greasing bearings to not overfill
the bearing. Over greasing can lead to overheating and/or
unsealing the bearing seals.
1. Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing.
2. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing,
to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
3. Replace and repair broken fittings immediately.
4. If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean thor-
oughly. Also clean lubricant passageway. Replace fit-
ting if necessary.
5. Grease and oil the unit as illustrated.
Fig. #16, Oil yearly
Fig. #18, Grease every 50 hours
Fig. #17, Grease every 50 hours
To prevent personal injury or property damage: Shut off
skid steer engine, disconnect hydraulics, remove igni-
tion key, and make sure that all moving parts have come
to a complete stop before servicing, adjusting, or re-
pairing.
