Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a grease fitting and what does it do?
A: A grease fitting (also called a zerk or lubrication nipple) is a small valve that allows pressurized grease guns to inject lubricant directly into bearing cavities and pivot joints on forklifts. This keeps critical components lubricated under load.
Q: Which forklift equipment types use the 9607021000 grease fitting?
A: The 9607021000 is used on electric and internal combustion forklifts from Crown, Hyster, Toyota, Linde, and Yale. Common locations include mast pivot points, load wheel spindles, and tilt cylinder rod ends. Confirm thread size and location match your equipment.
Q: What thread size and design does this grease fitting have?
A: The 9607021000 grease fitting specifications include the thread type and body design needed for standard forklift lubrication points. Verify the thread pitch and body length against your equipment drawings to ensure proper seating and no interference.
Q: How often should grease be applied through the 9607021000 fitting?
A: Maintenance schedules vary by equipment manufacturer and operating conditions. Most forklift manufacturers specify lubrication every 50-100 operating hours or weekly in high-use environments. Refer to your forklift maintenance manual for exact intervals.
Q: What type of grease should be used with this fitting?
A: Use multipurpose lithium-based NLGI Grade 2 grease unless your forklift manufacturer specifies otherwise. High-temperature or food-grade alternatives may be required depending on operating environment. Check your equipment manual for approved grease specifications.
