Lubrication

An essential step for lubrication is cleaning the components before lubricating them.

This idea is critical because dust and chips build up on lubricated components and make the components hard to move. Simply adding more grease to the components with built-up grime on them will not yield smooth moving components.

Clean the components in this section with an oil/ grease solvent cleaner.

If you thoroughly clean the components in this section before lubricating them, the result will be silky smooth movement when turning the handwheels, which will result in much higher enjoyment on your part!

The following are the main components that need to be lubricated:

•Trunnion Slides and Orientation Gears

•Worm Gears, Trunnion and Bearing Housing Teeth

Trunnion Slides & Orientation Gears

Clean the trunnion slides out with mineral spirits and a rag, and brush a dollop of lithium grease into each groove. Move the blade tilt back-and- forth to spread the grease (see Figure 104).

Also use a wire brush and mineral spirits to clean any debris or grime off the orientation gears, then apply lithium grease to the gears with a brush.

Worm Gears, Trunnion and Bearing Housing Teeth

Clean away any built up grime and debris with a wire brush and mineral spirits from the worm gears and the teeth on the bearing housing and trunnion. Then use a brush or rag to apply a thin coat of white lithium grease to the gears and teeth.
