Lubrication
The following describes all lubricating tasks which should be performed with the superstructure.

Greasing the swivel gear


Fill grease through the grease nipple (1) with a grease gun.

Grease at each 90° position of the swivel gear. Fill a to-


tal of approx. 50 g of grease (approx. 20 shots with the
grease gun). Refer to the "Recommended lubricants"
section (page 168).
When moving the swivel frame, make sure no person
or material is in the swivel area. Turn the starter switch
to the STOP position and remove the key before the
next greasing procedure.

Operate the excavator and swivel the swivel frame by 90° several times. After greasing, swivel the swivel
frame 360° several times to distribute the grease evenly.

Greasing the pitch bearing


Fill grease through the grease nipple (1) with a grease gun.

Grease at each 90° position of the pitch bearing. Using


the grease gun, apply 5 shots at every position. Refer
to the "Recommended lubricants" section (page 168).

When moving the swivel frame, make sure no person


or material is in the swivel area. Turn the starter switch
to the STOP position and remove the key before the
next greasing procedure.

Operate the excavator and swivel the swivel frame by 90° several times. After greasing, swivel the swivel
frame 360° several times to distribute the grease evenly.

Maintenance

Greasing the swing bracket


Lubricate both greasing points (see figure to the right) – see the
"Recommended lubricants" section (page 168) – by injecting
grease until fresh grease emerges.

Wipe emerged grease off immediately and store dirty


cleaning cloths in the containers provided for disposal.

Other greasing points


Start the engine (page 78).

Position the boom, arm, and dozer as shown in the figure. Stop the engine, remove the key. Refer to the "Op-
erating the controls during excavation work" section) (page 87).

Lubricate all greasing points with grease – see the "Recommended lubricants" section (page 168) – until fresh
grease emerges.

Wipe emerged grease off immediately and store dirty cleaning cloths in the containers provided for
disposal.
