Gears (11 and 14)

Remove U-nuts (40), on opposite side of hoist as the hand chain, and remove gear cover (17) and support plate (16). Remove old grease and replace with new. For temperatures -20° to 50° F (-29° to 10° C) use EP 1 grease or equivalent. For temperatures 30° to 120° F (-1° to 49° C) use EP 2 grease or equivalent.
