SEALED BEARINGS
Sealed bearings are used at several locations on this machine. All sealed bearings are lubricated at the
factory and the seals retain the grease inside the bearing and prevent dirt and other contaminants from
getting inside. The life of the sealed is virtually limitless provided it is not damaged in any way. When
sealed bearings are greased, the grease is introduced next to the outer face of the seal. When a hand held
grease gun is used, the grease slips in next to the seal without damaging it. An air powered greasing
system will inject the grease so fast that it is no uncommon for them to damage a seal. Once the seal is
damaged, the factory installed grease comes out and the bearing runs dry. Seizing will then occur in a
short time.
Should you notice that a seal is damaged, replace the bearing immediately to prevent problems at a later
time.
SEALED BEARINGS
Occasional greasing of sealed bearings is required to remove moisture and contaminants from the space
next to the seals. It is not recommended that sealed bearings on the machine be greased any oftener than
once every season after the machine is washed and then only give them one shot. More frequent
lubrication runs the risk of damaging the seals and causing bearing failure. The exception to this rule is
at the beginning and end of the season. At those times, each bearing should be given only one shot of
grease to remove moisture or water next to the seal that can accumulate during washing or storage.
ROLLER CHAINS
Check all chains daily for tension. Lubricate chains every 20 hours of operation. Tighten chains so there
is approximately 1/4 to 1/2" of slack on the side of the chain opposite the tightener or so that you can
slide the chain back and forth with your fingers on one of the sprockets. DO NOT over tighten. Replace
all shields after servicing chains.
