Automatic Lubrication System Grease - Add - If Equipped

SMCS - 7540

The grease reservoir is inside the left storage box.

The lines and the pipes in the automatic lubrication system are under
extremely high pressure.

Do not loosen any joints or plugs while the pump is operating.

Serious injury can result from high pressure grease spraying out
suddenly.

(1) "MAX" level

(2) "MIN" level

1. Inspect the level of the reservoir when a message appears on the display which indicates that
the level of grease in the grease reservoir is low.

NOTICE

Make sure that the grease level does not fall below the "MIN" level in
the reservoir. The operation of the automatic lubrication system with
the grease level below "MIN" will damage the front pins and the swing
bearing because not enough grease will be supplied to these areas.

2. If the grease level is lower than "MIN" (2), grease should be added to the reservoir.

NOTICE

NLGI Grade 0 grease or NLGI Grade 1 grease that has a low viscosity
should be used only in cold weather conditions. The consumption of
grease will increase if used in warmer weather.

NOTICE

Any foreign materials that enter the grease reservoir could restrict the
lubrication lines or damage the valves. Prior to adding the grease to the
reservoir, be sure to wipe any potential contaminants from the grease
fitting and the grease gun nozzle.

NOTICE

When you add grease to the grease reservoir, never add the grease
beyond the "MAX" level. If you add grease above this level, the cover
of the grease reservoir could come off during operation. The capacity
of the grease reservoir is 8 L (2.1 US gal).
