Regular Maintenance

LUBRICATION

Lubricate the machine at the lubrication points shown in Figures 6 - 11.

Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are not installed.

Not all greases are compatible. Ferris Red Grease

(P/N 22285) is strongly recommended. Automotive-type high-temperature, lithium grease may be used when this is not available.

Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off belts and pulleys. Remember to wipe fittings and surfaces clean both before and after lubrication.
