Depending upon the expected air temperature range during the service interval, use grease as shown on the adjoining table.
John Deere High-Temperature/Extreme-Pressure/Non-Clay Grease is recommended.
If other greases are used, they must be greases meeting SAE Multipurpose High Temperature Grease with Extreme Pressure (EP) Performance and capable of operating at compartment temperatures above 150°C (302°F)

At temperatures below -30°C (-22°F), use arctic greases such as those meeting Military Specification MIL-G-10942C.
