The life of any machine depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubrication is a very important part
of that care.
Be certain that all lubrication fittings are assembled in
place, using the lubrication illustration as a guide.
Always lubricate the deck thoroughly before taking it to
the field. Use a pressure lubricating gun.
Be sure all fittings are free from dirt and paint so the lu-
bricant is certain to enter the bearing.
Miscellaneous working parts not provided with lubrica-
tion fittings should be oiled daily with a good grade of lu-
bricating oil.
Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can be
expensive to replace.

Keep your supply of lubricating oil and grease stored in
clean containers, and covered to protect from dust and
dirt.
Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean and wipe dirt from
the grease fittings before lubricating.
The symbols in the illustrations indicate the method of
application and the hourly intervals to apply the lubri-
cant.
Use a pressure lubricating gun and
apply 251H EP grease (or equiva-
lent No. 2 multi-purpose lithium
grease) sufficient to flush out the
old grease and dirt. Lubricate at
the hourly intervals indicated on
the symbols.
