Bearings
Bearings have been sized for the maximum speeds, loads and capacities found in this manual
at 50% duty. Bearings must be greased at least yearly, but greasing frequency will depend on
duty and hoistway conditions.
1. To grease bearings, first remove the pressure relief plugs from the outboard stand and
the back of the machine. See Figure 13.
Figure 13
2. The grease point is opposite the relief plug. Figure 14.
Figure 14
3. Apply 2-
3 oz. of grease (use Shell “Gadus S3 V220C 2” or equal) at least yearly or
according to the maintenance schedule for the installation conditions.
Bearings calculated life rating (based on speed, loads and 50% duty) is approximately 20
years. Please note that installation conditions vary, so shorter or longer bearing life may be
experienced.
