LUBRICATION
ALLMAND BACKHOE
H
GENERAL INFORMATION
Economical and efficient operation of any machine is dependent upon
regular and proper lubrication of all moving parts with a quality lubricant. Neglect
leads to reduced efficiency, heavy draft, wear, breakdown, and needless replace-
ment parts.
All parts provided with grease fittings should be lubricated as indicated. If
any grease fittings are missing, replace them immediately. Clean all fittings thor-
oughly before using grease gun.
IMPORTANT: Avoid excessive greasing. Dirt collects on exposed grease and
greatly increases wear. After greasing, wipe off excessive grease from fittings.
LUBRICATION SYMBOLS
The following symbol is used on the lubrication diagram printed on the follow-
ing page. It is reproduced here with its meaning for your convenience.
Lubricate daily or every 8 hours of operation, whichever comes first,
with SAE Multi-Purpose Lubricant or an equivalent SAE Multi Pur-
pose type grease.
CAUTION! Shut off vehicle engine before lubricating equipment.
