grease for the blade spindle bearings and NO.
2 Multipurpose Lithium Base Grease for the
remaining fittings.
Spindle Lubricant: Use only Shell Alvania RL 2 grease. This grease is an
amber-colored grease designed for high speed bearing applications. It
has a base oil viscosity that reduces running losses, has been formulated
for low noise, has excellent corrosion protection, and has excellent
bearing lubrication.
General Purpose Lubrication: Use any NLGI grade 2 multi-purpose
grease. Shell Albida EP2 is recommended. Shell Albida EP 2 is a red-colored
multi-purpose grease designed for heavy-duty bearing applications. It has
high base oil viscosity for mechanical stability, has been formulated for high
load, low-speed applications, and has excellent lubrication and corrosion
protection.
