the equipment.
If any material is on the shaft stub (6) within 1/2
in. (13 mm) of the housing (1), it must be removed
to prevent damage to the bearing seal (13). See

. If the flexible lips on the bearing
seal are torn or worn such that they do not make
contact all the way around the shaft, the seal must
be replaced. A worn seal may allow foreign material
into the bearing and cause premature failure. See
