Does J.Thomas have any tech tips regarding lubrication?
• Keeping your equipment well lubricated can reduce your chance of equipment failure due to worn parts because of friction and internal wear • Always mix two cycle oil to recommended ratio by equipment manufacturer or use Intermix® multi ratio.

Lubricate spindles and caster daily. Listen for squealing and watch for sticking of moving parts • Lubricate grease fittings every 50 hours. Mark location with fluorescent paint for easy identification. Refer to owners manual for locations of pivot points, wheel bearings, axles supports. • High temp grease is a must for spindle bearings. Greasing the spindle assembly provides necessary lubrication to components. More importantly, it diffuses the heat generated at the assemblies, which keeps it cooler and prevents premature wear.
