All pivot points are equipped with permanently lubricated bushings and bearings. To increase bearing life, it is recommended that a few drops of light machine oil be applied at each pivot point every 6 months. The thrust plate is equipped with three grease fittings. Apply grease under normal conditions every 6 months.
