WARNING: To ensure that drive is not unexpectedly started,
turn off and lock out or tag power source before proceeding,
faulure to observe these precautions could result in bodily
injury.
INSTALLATION:
1. Verify SLEEVOIL Pillow Block series and bore size prior to
installation of Oil Level and Filtration System (OLF System).
Note: One OLF System per SLEEVOIL Pillow Block.
2. Check to ensure that correct oil inlets have been ordered
and received for the OLF system installation.

WARNING: Because of the possible danger to person(s) or
property from accidents which may result from the improper
use of products, it is important that correct procedures be
followed: Products must be used in accordance with the
engineering information specified in tie catalog. Proper
installation, maintenance and operation procedures must
be observed. The instructions in the instruction manuals
must be followed, inspections should be made as necessary
to assure safe operation under prevailing conditions. Proper
guards and other suitable safety devices or procedures as
may be desirable or as may be specified in safety codas
should be provided, and are neither provided by Baldor
Electric Company nor are the responsibility of Baldor
Electric Company. This unit and its associated equipment
must be installed, adjusted and maintained by qualified
personnel who are familiar with the construction and
operation of all equipment in the system and the potential
hazards involved. When risk to persons or property may be
involved, a failsafe device must be an integral part of the
driven equipment beyond the speed reducer output shaft.
Instruction Manual for SLEEVOIL Oil Level and Filtration System (OLF)
These instructions must be read thoroughly before installing or operating this product.
3. Shut down the main fan by following the manufacturer
instructions.
4. Locate the OLF System at least 3 feet below the circulating
oil control level drain return hole on the SLEEVOIL bearing
housing.
5. Fasten the OLF System horizontally to the base using the
four 5/16 inch motor mount bolts.
LUBRICATION
1. Fill the OLF System reservoir to the top by monitoring the
oil level gauge. The OLF System reservoir will hold 1 gallon
of oil.
Since the satisfactory operation of the pillow block
depends almost entirely on the oil film being maintained
between the shaft and bearing liner surface, the use of a
high quality oil from a reputable manufacturer cannot be
overemphasized. Use a high grade straight mineral oil with
rust and oxidation (R & O) inhibitors and antifoam agents.
Check construction drawings or equipment instruction
manual for proper oil. Oil viscosity is determined by the
equipment manufacturer and normally specified on the
construction drawing or in the operating manual.
2. Connect the output of the OLF System to the Bearing
Housing circulating oil inlet using the fitting designated by
the bearing supplier.
R-Series 1-7/16” – 3-7/16” Only.
Supply line requires the
user to provide 3/4” NPT hose, inlet adapter (see chart),
and pipe nipple. Hose length is limited by the motor’s ability
to supply oil to the bearing. Connect the output of the
filtration unit to the SLEEVOIL circulating oil inlet.
