Main spRings lubRiCaTion
„ The rammer main springs (Figure 18) should be
lubricated with five shots of grease with a hand grease
gun after each eight (8) hours of use.
„ Use MQ HIGH TEMPERATURE GREASE, P/N GRS2
or its equivalent.
„ Equivalent greases include Shell Darina or Texaco
Thermatex, both of which have a bentone base and
EP-2 rating.
„ If an inferior grease is used, it may become too thick or
too thin due to changes in temperature, and improper
lubrication could result.
