GREASE FITTING
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 953701907 grease fitting used for?
A: The 953701907 is a grease fitting (nipple) used for lubrication points on electric lift truck frames, masts, and mechanical assemblies. Grease fittings allow technicians to apply periodic grease to pivot points, bearings, and hinges without disassembly. This part fits Toyota, Crown, Raymond, and comparable electric pallet jack models.
Q: What thread size is the 953701907 grease fitting?
A: The 953701907 is a metric grease fitting. Confirm your equipment assembly or bearing bore to verify exact thread size before ordering. Common sizes are M6, M8, or M10. Using an incorrect thread size will leak or strip the mounting hole.
Q: Which grease types are compatible with the 953701907?
A: Use lithium complex or calcium complex NLGI Grade 2 grease for general duty. For cold storage or wet floor applications, use polyurea or synthetic Grade 2 greases with high water resistance. Always verify your equipment manufacturer grease recommendations to prevent bearing damage.
Q: How often should grease be applied through the 953701907 fitting?
A: Lubrication intervals depend on duty cycle and operating conditions. Most lift truck masts and frames require grease every 500 to 1000 operating hours or quarterly, whichever is sooner. Heavy duty or outdoor use may require more frequent application. Lack of lubrication causes wear, binding, and premature bearing failure.
