bearing applications. It has a base oil viscosity that reduces
running losses, has been formulated for low noise, has excellent
corrosion protection, and has excellent bearing lubrication.
General Purpose Lubrication:
Use any NLGI grade 2 multi-purpose
grease. Shell Albida EP2 is recommended. Shell Albida EP 2 is a
red-colored multi-purpose grease designed for heavy-duty bearing
applications. It has high base oil viscosity for mechanical stability,
has been formulated for high load, low-speed applications, and has
excellent lubrication and corrosion protection.
