Observe the following when changing over to an alternative type of grease that is permitted according
to the table:
Bearings with permanent lubrication:
● Completely remove the old grease from the bearing before regreasing it.
● Fill roller bearings completely with grease and cavities in the bearing cover only up to one
third.
Bearings with regreasing:
If complete replacement of grease and cleaning of the bearing is not possible, keep the
operating time to a minimum when different greases are mixed. To do this, thoroughly grease
the bearing when the machine is running with about twice the amount of grease until spent
grease has been removed from the greasing ducts. Then regrease 4x at intervals of ¼ of the
normal greasing interval. During this time, very carefully monitor the bearing locations involved.
Then resume the normal greasing intervals.
NOTICE
Damage due to mixing grease types
If you mix greases and oils with different soap or oil bases, then the lubricating properties
may no longer be guaranteed.
Mixing low-temperature grease with normal temperature grease can cause lumps to form in
the lubricant. The consequence can be damage to the roller bearings due to overheating.
Never mix greases that have different thickening agents and different base oils.
9.3.7 Removing spent grease
If the specifications on the lubricant plate are observed, the spent grease chamber will provide
capacity for a calculated service life of at least 40 000 operating hours, approx. five years.
When the spent grease chamber is full, the spent grease must be removed prior to
