Illustration 3 g00565405 - The fittings are at the base of the boom. The fittings can be serviced from the platform on the storage box. To lubricate the lower right boom bearing, apply lubricant through fitting (1). To lubricate the lower left boom bearing, apply lubricant through fitting (2). To lubricate the boom cylinder rod, apply lubricant through fittings (3) and (5). To lubricate the stick cylinder head, apply lubricant through fitting (4).
Note: To ensure proper lubrication of the lower boom bearings and of the boom cylinder rod end bearings, lubricant should be applied through fittings (1), (2), (3), and (5). Apply lubricant first when the boom is raised and any implement is suspended. Then apply lubricant when the boom is lowered and the implement is rested on the ground with a slight downward pressure.
