Lubrication Instructions
Any special lubricating instructions for vendor equipment in the high pressure water jetting
units are covered in the
MANUFACTURERS' LITERATURE section in this manual.
Manufacturer's recommendations set forth for this equipment must be followed for that
equipment.
Unless specified otherwise, service intervals specified are for operating hours in moderate
temperatures. Adjust service intervals accordingly for operation in abnormal conditions.
The suggested lubrication instructions and service intervals are for illustration purposes only.
NLB does not warrant that adherence
to
these suggestions will necessarily result in proper
lubrication. NLB disclaims any responsibility for equipment and/or accessory failure that is
due to the lack
of
or improper lubrication. NLB suggests that you consult with your
lubrication supplier for recommendations that will suit your specific requirements.
Note:
Manufacturer's nameplate data take precedent over the following suggestions.
Drain lubricating oil only when it is
hot
and the contaminants are in suspension.
Diesel Engine Crankcase
If the high pressure water jetting equipment is in service, under no circumstances can the
lubricating oil drain interval extend beyond three (3) months or
250 hours.

For anti-friction bearings, use any high grade lithium base grease lubricant that can handle a
high operating temperature of
200°F (93.3 °C).
Caution:
To
avoid dirt filled from being injected into the bearings, clean
off
the grease
fittings before connecting the grease gun.
The bronze type collar design needs lubrication daily or after every 10 hours
of
operation.
The ball bearing type needs
to
be periodically lubricated every 100 hours
of
operation. The
sealed-for-life type ball bearing collar needs no lubrication.
