Hi, I have a quick query about my 1996 hitachi ex200-3 swing gear - how/where do I grease the cogs/teeth?? I have checked the oil in the swing motor and its okay, but how do I lubricate the drive cog and toothed ring? There's no access from below I can see, and no inspection cover/plate I can find up top behind the lift ram bases on the turntable (where I believe some machines have an accessible grease 'well'). I have greased the slew ring bearing via the 2 nipples on the face of the slew regularly and my mechanic tells me this will also grease the swing gear on this model, but I am unconvinced.
Can anyone help/does anyone have a definitive answer for this vintage of hitachi ex200? I hate running a machine that I'm not 100% sure is correctly lubricated in such a vital and inaccessible area.....
Cheers in advance for all assistance
