                    Maintenance

                    Daily

                                Inspect  the  SideWinder®  Assemblies  overall;  for  damaged  or missing  foam  on  cleaning
                                hubs, loose bolts that may cause wobbling, and worn bearings.

                    Monthly
                                Inspect cleaning foam on all cleaning hubs for wear or damage, replace as needed.
                                Grease arm pivot bearings (4 per side) using marine grease.

                           Note:  Before GREASING and after GREASING wipe off all bearing seal surfaces and Zerks. Grease
                                  should only be applied until water is pushed out and bearings seals start to swell.
                           Note:  The bottom bearings are accessible to be wiped clean, however the upper bearings are not,
                                  access the top bearings by removing the bolt on top of the utility weldments.

                                Apply Fluid Film Rust and Corrosion Preventative spray liberally to all arm pivot bearings
                                (4 per side).
                                Apply  Moly  Grease  to  the  Universal  Joint  every  other  month  or  every  25,000  cars
                                whichever comes first.  Using a needle injector on a grease gun fill the boot 3/4 full with
                                grease. Compress and massage the outside of the boot to work the lubricant into the joint.


                    Troubleshooting
