6.2.2 Regrease the grease-lubricated bearings
NOTICE:
Risk of equipment damage. Ensure that the grease container, the greasing device, and the fit-
tings are clean. Failure to do so can result in impurities entering the bearing housing while re-
greasing the bearings.

1.
Wipe dirt from the grease fittings.
2.
Remove the two grease-relief plugs from the bottom of the frame.
3.
Fill both of the grease cavities through the fittings with a recommended grease until the fresh
grease comes out of the relief holes.
4.
Make sure that the frame seals are seated in the bearing housing.
If they are not, press them in place with the drains located at the bottom.
5.
Reinstall the grease-relief plugs.
6.
Wipe off any excess grease.
7.
Recheck the alignment.
The bearing temperature usually rises after you regrease due to an excess supply of grease. Tempera-
tures return to normal in about two to four operating hours as the pump runs and purges the excess
grease from the bearings.
