LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. The
accompanying illustration shows lubrication points. The chart gives the frequency of lubrication in hours,
based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrica-
tion. FIGURE 1.
Use an SAE multi-purpose, lithium-type grease for all grease fittings. Gearboxes use EP 90w gear oil. Be
sure to clean the fitting thoroughly before using grease gun. Daily lubrication of the wing driveline slip joint
is necessary. Failure to maintain proper lubrication will result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and/or
driveshaft.
