Supporting the Machine Properly

Make grease fitting of the front universal-jointed shafts accessible:

1. Turn steer to full stop.
2. Stop the engine and engage the park lock.
3. Raise axle knee with a jack until the wheel can rotate freely.
4. Rotate the wheel until the grease fitting can be reached by the grease gun.

Stay clear of the danger area underneath the wheel.

IMPORTANT: All the lubrication points are displayed below that need to be lubricated during a regular service.

There may be deviations due to the variety of equipment. Ignore the illustration in case the displayed component is not available.

Some components are available in different configurations. In case several parts are shown, just observe the relevant version.

Lubrication procedure: When using a conventional grease gun, press in an amount of grease until old grease, dirt, or water comes out of the lubrication point. Remove excessive grease and dispose of properly according to local regulations. One exception is the rear axle bearings. They are lubricated with no more than 6-8 strokes of the conventional grease gun.

Special conditions: There is an anti-wrap guard over each universal joint on the universal-jointed shaft. Remove the anti-wrap guard if it does not feature an access opening to the grease fitting.

Recommended grease: See Section 80, "Grease"
