4.3 Lubrication:
Remove the negative battery terminal before attempting any
lubrication procedures.
oroughly read and understand the safety and pre-operat-
ing sections of this manual before performing any lubrica-
tion procedures.
NOTE; DO NOT mix different types
of grease. The old grease MUST
BE purged before a different type
of grease is used. Mixing grease
WILL cause premature failure to the
bearings.
Figure 4.3A
The following are general lubrication procedures for our
standard units. Any special or custom built units may have
other lubrication procedures not directly mentioned in this
manual. Please consult the factory or your dealer before
any lubricating procedures not specically mentioned in this
manual.
Proper lubrication of your unit correlates directly to how long
your unit will last. A properly maintained unit will last much
longer than a unit that is not maintained properly. NOTE:
Always lubricate bearings at the end of each work day. This
will displace any moisture in the bearings. Also lubricate
thorougly before extended shutdown or storage.
Lubrication Points:
1. Drive Bearings (gure 4.3a): These bearings are criti-
cal components of the belt-driven units. These bearings
should be greased every 10 hours with approximately
two strokes from the average hand pump grease gun.
The type of grease used in these bearings are also
critical to the performance of the bearings. A multi-pur-
pose, heavy-load, high-temperature, moisture resistant
#2 grease is required for the drive bearings. We recom-
mend L Mantek Elite Supreme #1 WG Extreme Duty
multi-purpose grease. Other premium quality grease that
matches the above requirements may be used but after
years of testing we recommends the Mantek grease.
