A Well Lubricated Machine Is A High Performing Machine
Greasing your machine regularly and at the right intervals will help keep your Cat Skid Steer or Compact Track Loader running for years to come.
The importance of grease
All service and greasing intervals can be found in your machine Operating and Maintenance Manual, as well as on the quick reference service chart located inside the rear door of your compact loader. Greasing points may vary between model numbers, so make sure you check these handy reference tools before getting to work.
As a general rule, anything that works in the dirt should be greased daily – particularly those in the front of the machine, such as:
- where the coupler attaches to the lift arm
- where the tilt cylinders attach to the coupler and the main frame
- the coupler pins
All greasing points are important and daily greasing points are accessible from ground-level.
Watch the video below to understand how the daily greasing of specific points will keep your Cat Skid Steer or Compact Track Loader running at peak performance.
