The mounting and dismounting of rolling bearings involve
the handling of sometimes heavy weights, the use of tools
and other devices, and in some cases the use of high pres-
sure oil. In order to avoid accidents, injuries or damage to
property please follow carefully the prescribed methods.
Arrange the one V-ring with sealing washer on the shaft. The V-
ring should be furthest away from the bearing and seal against the
washer, i.e. the lip should point inwards towards the washer.
Mount the bearing on the shaft - either directly on a stepped shaft
or using an adapter sleeve. Completely fill the bearing with grease.
The remainder of the recommended grease quantity should be put
in the housing base at the sides.
Arrange the second sealing washer and V-ring on the shaft at the
other side of the bearing. If the housing is to be used at the end of
a shaft, mount an end cover instead.
Lay the shaft with bearing and sealing washers in the housing
base.
Put the locating rings (when needed) at each side of the bearing.
NB: locating rings are only used for locating bearing arrange-
ments.
Ensure that the environment is clean.
Determine the position of the housing. The grease nipple arranged
at one side of the housing cap (for improved lubrication) should
always be at the opposite to the sleeve nut. it is necessary to
consider the complete housing as the base and cap will only fit
together as supplied.
Position the housing on the support surface. Fit the attachment
bolts but do not tighten them.
