Grease “Weekly” Bearings
The grease ttings for the ironing cylinder
bearing (Figure 4-3, A) in the right endframe,
cam follower bearings (Figure 4-4, A) in the left
endframe, and compression roll bearings (Figure
4-3, B; Figure 4-4 B) in both endframes, are
marked with yellow “GREASE WEEKLY” tags
and need to be greased weekly.
Other bearings that are identied with the
yellow “GREASE” tags should also be greased
weekly if the unit is continuously run for long
periods.
A special high temperature lubricant is
required to properly grease all bearings. It is
important that only an EP, bentonite clay, NLGI
2, 1000 cSt viscosity grease be used.
Use of unsuitable grease can cause bearing
lockup or failure. Problems can also result if the
new grease is incompatible with the grease that
is already in the bearings.
Failure to use the correct lubricant will void
the factory warranty.
CAUTION
Before using a grease
other than specied, check
with the factory service
department to verify that
the grease meets
specications and is
compatible with the grease
already in the bearings.
