Lubricating the Camshaft Bracket Bushing

sb mm 42.10.001

Important: Perform Parking Brake Operational Check, Air Disc Brakes, Axial Mounted Brakes, Bendix Calipers and Drum Brakes before lubricating the camshaft brackets.

Pump multipurpose chassis grease (NLGI Grade 1 or 2) into the chamber bracket until it appears at the slack adjuster end of the bracket. See Fig.. Use care that no grease enters the drum cavity. If grease leaks out under the camhead, the camshaft grease seal is worn or damaged, or is installed backwards.

Note: The use of meter-type fittings, having a maximum 40 psi (276 kPa) pressure relief at shutoff, is recommended.
