Important: Perform Maintenance Operation 42–11 before lubricating the slack adjusters.

Automatic slack adjusters must be lubricated periodically to ensure proper brake operation.

Warning: Failure to lubricate slack adjusters could lead to dragging brakes or a brake failure, resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Using a quality multipurpose chassis lubricant, NLGI Grade 2, lubricate the automatic slack adjuster through the lube fitting. See Fig.. Lubricate the slack adjuster until clean lubricant flows from the grease relief opening in the boot.
