Do I have to lubricate the slewing ring on a regular basis?

UAM plate compactor attachments with a slewing ring have two grease fittings on the slewing ring.

Lubricating the ring on a regular basis (with the interval depending on how the attachment is used) will lengthen the service life of the premium worm drive slewing gear.

To do this, squeeze an adequate quantity of multi-purpose grease into the grease fittings. Then rotate the slewing ring 360° WITHOUT FAIL so that the grease will be evenly distributed across the ring gear. If you lubricate the slewing ring excessively and fail to rotate it, the lip seal on the slewing ring may be pushed out.
