Some models are supplied with a sealed release bearing. These are not equipped with a lube fitting and requires no additional grease for the life of the clutch.
The release bearing has been greased. If the vehicle is in regular service, grease the clutch every 10,000 hours or once per month. If the vehicle is in severe service, grease the clutch every 250 hours or once per month. Only high temperature greases should be used. Chassis lube or all purpose lubricants are not recommended.
Important: The clutch brake facing is designed to work best when it is coated with grease.
