Using the lubrication illustration as a guide, make certain that all lubrication fittings are installed and functioning.
Be sure all fittings are free from dirt and paint so the lubricant is certain to enter the bearing.
Using a pressure lubricating gun, always force the lubricant through the full length of each bearing until it emerges at the end, carrying with it the worn lubricant and any dirt that may have entered the bearing.
