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.
