Lubricate Dozer Blade
Lubricate the dozer blade as shown in Figure 2. Where
an oil can is shown, wipe the area clean, apply a few
drops of oil (SAE 30), then wipe up drips or spills.
In general, linkage connections and other parts that have
partial rotational or sliding movement should be lubricat-
ed periodically with SAE 30 weight oil. Avoid applying
excessive amounts of oil since this may cause a build-up
of dirt around the lubricated area, making subsequent
lubrication more difficult to accomplish.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on
the tractor or dozer blade only when the engine is
stopped, parking brake is set and all moving parts
have stopped. Always remove the ignition key
before beginning maintenance or adjustments to
prevent accidental starting of the engine.
When performing service work, support the blade
using wood blocks placed under the scraper bar or
skid shoes.
Never put hands or feet under the dozer blade.
