What happens here

Before beginning heavy work, all machinery must be inspected and prepared. Sam uses a Milwaukee M18 cordless grease gun to lubricate various grease points on the Caterpillar skid steer loader, including the main pins and hydraulic cylinders. He notes that the front pins can be particularly sticky and applies WD-40 spray lubricant to ease their movement. The main presenter, Blaine, also checks the engine oil level using the dipstick to ensure optimal machine performance.

Goal: Ensure the heavy machinery is fully operational and properly lubricated.

Tools and materials

  • Engine Oil Dipstick N/A — Checking the engine oil level of the skid steer
  • Gloves — Protecting hands during lubrication
  • Safety Glasses — Eye protection during maintenance
  • WD-40 Spray Lubricant WD-40 — Lubricating sticky pins and hard-to-reach moving parts
  • Grease — Lubricating moving parts of the skid steer
