points
o Damaged lubricant line, detect-
able only by visual inspection and
significant lubricant discharge.
o Visual inspection
• Replace the lubricant line
• Use only grease-filled SKF original spare lines on grease progressive systems.
Perform start-up and functional inspection.
• Visual inspection for mechanical damage
• Pinching and sharp bends are blocking the grease flow
o Check the lubricant supply • Check grease supply in the lubricant reservoir, refill if necessary.
• Start-up, functional inspection
• Trigger interim lubrication.
o Defective lubrication point
o Defective bearing
o Bearing bush twisted
• Check bearing for mechanical damage or contamination.
• Check bearing for proper function (move the machine and check for.
• bearing noise).
• Use a high-pressure grease gun to make the bearing move freely. If this is not
