Dryer Preventive Maintenance
Your machine must be lubricated in strict accordance with the instructions in this section to
achieve optimum performance and service life from your Milnor® machine and warranty
requirements.
WARNING 1 : Entangle and Crush Hazards —Guards, covers, and panels—Operating the
machine with any guard, cover, or panel removed exposes moving components.
• Abide by the current OSHA lockout/tagout standard when lockout/tagout is called for in
the service instructions. Outside the USA, abide by the OSHA standard in the absence of
any other overriding standard.
• Insure belt and pulley guards are in place during service procedures.
• Do not service the machine unless qualified and authorized. You must clearly understand
the hazards and how to avoid them.

Lubrication Precautions
[Document BIUUUM01]
CAUTION 2 : Machine Damage Hazard —Improper lubrication can damage machine
components and cause the machine to malfunction.
• Do not mix petroleum and synthetic based lubricants.
• Do not use an unspecified lubricant without consulting the lubricant manufacturer.
• Do not apply grease with a pneumatic grease gun. Use only a hand-operated grease gun.
• Do not over-lubricate.
• Always clean grease fittings before adding grease. Clean off excess grease.
• Ensure that lubricants do not drip onto belts, brake shoes or drums.
WARNING 3 : Entangle and Crush Hazards
—Contact with moving components normally
isolated by guards, covers, and panels, can entangle and crush your limbs. These components
move automatically.
• Abide by the current OSHA lockout/tagout standard when lockout/tagout is called for in
the service instructions. Outside the USA, abide by the OSHA standard in the absence of
any other overriding standard.
• Do not service the machine unless qualified and authorized. You must clearly understand
the hazards and how to avoid them.
1.1.
Pumping Grease
—Pump grease slowly, taking 10-12 seconds to complete each stroke. A
grease gun can build up extremely high pressure which will force seals out of position and cause
them to leak.
1.2.
Grease Quantity
—Apply the quantity of grease called for in the checklist. Over-lubrication
can be as damaging as under-lubrication. Where quantities are stated in strokes, one stroke of the
grease gun is assumed to provide .0624 fluid oz. (1.77 grams) (by volume) of grease. Therefore,
one fluid ounce (28.3 grams) of grease would be provided by 16 stokes of the grease gun.
Determine the flow rate of your grease gun by pumping one ounce into a calibrated container. If
fewer than 16 stokes are required, all quantities in strokes in the chart should be reduced
accordingly, and if more than 16 strokes are required, the number of strokes should be increased.
Before starting lubrication, make sure your grease gun is working and that you get a full charge
of grease with every stroke.
