Please observe the following before commencing any assembly of seals:
• Protect the sealing surfaces during transport and mounting.
• Keep the seal in its original wrappings or protect it well before actual
mounting.
• The fitting of seals and gears must be carried out on clean workbenches.
• Use a protective sleeve for the sealing lip during mounting, when sliding
over threads, keyways, etc.

• The seal is of the correct type (provided with cutting
edge).

Lubricate the seal with grease just before fitting. (Not too
early - there is a risk of dirt and foreign particles adhering
to the seal.) 3
Fill 2/3 of the space between the dust tongue and sealing
lip with grease. The rubber coated external diameter must
also be greased, unless otherwise specified.
Mount the seal correctly with a mounting tool. 4
Never hammer directly on the seal as this may result in
leakage.
Make sure no grease left on the robot surface.
