Quick tips
- If it's in the dirt, you should grease it daily. For example, the grease zerks on the end of the pins near your bucket.
- Before greasing, ensure your machine is parked on level ground with the linkage extended all the way – this allows you to perform your daily greasing tasks without having to reposition your machine
- Too much grease will not hurt your machine, but it will make it look messy
- Put enough grease in until you see it bubble out of the joint – this will push the dirt out and keep the machine performing optimally
