Q: What equipment is the DS236736 grease fitting used on?
A: The DS236736 grease fitting is used on forklifts from multiple manufacturers including Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown, Jungheinrich, and similar warehouse equipment. Verify your specific forklift model and serial range for correct fitment.
Q: Why is the DS236736 grease fitting important?
A: The grease fitting provides a designated lubrication point that ensures proper maintenance of critical bearing and joint areas on forklifts. Regular greasing through the fitting extends bearing life and reduces wear.
Q: How do you use a grease fitting like the DS236736?
A: The DS236736 grease fitting accepts a standard grease gun coupler. Apply grease according to your equipment maintenance schedule. Do not over-grease, as excess lubricant can cause component failure.
Q: What happens if a grease fitting is missing or damaged?
A: A missing or damaged grease fitting like the DS236736 prevents proper bearing lubrication, leading to accelerated wear, noise, and potential bearing failure. Replace it immediately to maintain equipment reliability and extend component life.
