Don’t Forget The Grease!
Grease ttings are permanently installed by a threaded connection leaving a connection
that a grease gun attaches to. To prolong the life of your Ercolina bending machine it is
important to grease the zerks (ttings) every 40 work hours or 1,000 bends. WD-40 and
other penetrating oils actually break down the grease and can cause damage to your
machine.
Grease machine every 40 hours of operation
Use 1 oz. of Hi-Temp Grease NLGI No. 2 per tting.
Inadequate greasing can leave your gear case dry,
damaging the bushings in your machine.
