* Suggested initial greasing interval. Remove bearing cap and observe condition of used grease. Adjust
lubrication frequency as needed. Hours of operation, temperature and surrounding conditions will affect
the re-lubrication frequency required. Clean and repack bearing annually. Remove old grease, pack
bearing full and fill housing reservoirs on both sides of bearing to bottom of shaft. For 24 hour operation
double the lubrication frequency.
** Grease to be added at each interval.
Lubricate with a multipurpose roller bearing NLGI No. 2 having rust inhibitors and antioxidant additives, and
a minimum oil viscosity of 500 SSU at 100°F. Some examples of grease having these properties are:

protection.
Static Oil Lubrication
Use only highest quality mineral oil with a minimum viscosity of 100 SSU at the oil’s operating temperature.
The oil’s operating temperature is approximately 10°F greater than the bearing’s housing. SAE values
having this viscosity at the following operating temperature are:
150° - SAE 20 160° - SAE 30 180° - SAE 40
Static oil level should be at the center of the lower-most roller (do not overfill).
Complete lubrication change should be made annually.
MOTOR LUBRICATION
Refer to motor manufacturer for lubrication recommendations.
On motors having grease drain plugs, remove the plugs and operate the motor for 15 minutes before
replacing plugs. DO NOT OVER GREASE.
