11.4.9.3 Lubricating the bearings
This group includes the following locations on the machine:
Bearing of the feed roller
Bearing of the knife drum
Bearing of the Axelero
TM
Use the following procedure :
• Spray some penetrating oil containing molyb-
denum disulphide into the bearing and the area
around and allow the oil to penetrate.
• Wipe away any external dirt.
• Spray more penetrating oil into the bearing joints.
• Allow the bearing to rotate (possibly by starting
the drive that moves the bearing). (CAUTION: make sure that all dangerous zones are adequa-
tely shielded).
• Once again, wiped away any dirt that is forced out by the penetrating oil.
• Use compressed air to remove all traces of penetrating oil from the bearing and from the bea-
ring joints.
• Apply new lubricating oil. ELIET recommends Novatio ClearLube as a lubricant.
• Wipe away any excess lubricant.
11.4.9.4 Lubricating the chains and the gearwheels
This group includes the following locations on the ma-
chine:
Chain drive of the feed roller.
Use the following procedure :
• Remove the guards to expose the drive (read “11.2.2
Removing the chain guard” on page 42).
• Wipe away all grease in and around the drive.
• Use penetrating oil containing molybdenum disulphide
to dissolve the lubricant.
• When the drive is clean and all traces of grease and dirt
have been removed, you can apply new lubricant.
• Use a small brush to apply the lubricant to the teeth of
the gearwheels. Use Sunoco Multi Purpose Grease or a
product of the same quality.
• It is better to use a thin liquid lubricant that can penetrate into the chains. For this, ELIET
recommends Clear Lube lubricant spray from Novatio.
• After applying the lubricant, the guards are carefully refitted in order to keep out dust and dirt
as much as possible.
All these greases are available from your ELIET Dealer.
