Add grease to the lubricating
points
Greasing of the pivot points is
essential to avoid wear of joints.
Lack of greasing can cause
significant damage to the
articulation joint and boom pivots in
short period of time.
The following table and pictures
show the location of grease
nipples. Check the lubrication
points before each work shift.
Make sure all joints are lubricated and clean.
Suitable lubrication interval depends heavily on
operating conditions. The need for lubrication must
be checked at least after every 10 hours of use. Add
grease if the joints have become dirty. Adequate
lubrication of the joints must be ensured. Lack of
lubrication will cause the joints to wear quickly.
Use general purpose machine grease. A grease gun
is needed to apply grease to grease nipples. All
lubrication nipples are standard R1/8" nipples.
Replace any damaged nipples.
Clean the end of the nipple before greasing and add
only a small amount of grease at a time. New
lubricant will push out dirt from joints. Wipe excess
grease with a cloth.
