Maintenance
6. The gear housing has fittings for lubrication of moving parts. The gears do
not run in oil, so periodic lubrication with grease is necessary.
7. Frequency of lubrication depends on operating conditions, but it should be
done at least once every six months.
8. Use a #2 grade LGI lithium grease to add grease through Zerk fittings on
gear housing until it flows out of the bearings around the trunnion shaft.
9. Place liberal amounts of grease on the gear to cover the arc that is in con-
tact with the worm gear.
10. Keep electrical wiring and connections in good condition.
11. Keep the inside of the control console clean and dry.
