Operating instructions for S 40-3...S 150-3 series screw compressors
Check to determine which motor is integrated in your compressor and service
the motor accordingly. Lubricate the bearings of the drive motor at the pre-
scribed intervals so as not to sustain damage due to lack of lubricant.
On motors with lubricating devices, regular greasing forms part of the scope
of maintenance. The lubrication intervals, quantity and type of grease are
given on the type plate or a separate plate. For lubrication, the required quan-
tity is pressed through the nipple into the bearing with a grease gun while the
compressor is running.
Drive motors with
automatic lubricating
equipment
Read the attached operating instructions carefully before putting the automatic
lubrication device into operation.
WARNING: Risk of injury!
Always exercise great caution when lubricating the bearings with the com-
pressor running and observe all safety precautions. Never put your hand in
the area of the V-belt and the fan wheel. Fitted safety devices and cladding
may not be removed.
WARNING!
Always use the same type of grease for lubrication. The lubricating ability can
be sharply reduced if different types of greases are mixed.
If you intend to use a different type of grease:
– Have the bearings removed and thoroughly cleaned by BOGE service
personnel prior to filling with new grease.
Please always observe the specified lubrication intervals and quantities of
grease.
Over-greasing and an excess of lubricant can also destroy the bearings.
