Applying Bearing Lubricant
To lubricate bearings, use the following steps.
1. Lockout/tagout machine.
2. Locate the grease fitting on the bearing.
3. Clean the fitting thoroughly to remove any dirt or old grease.
4. Place the manual grease gun over the fitting.
5. Add grease to the bearing until you feel resistance. Adding more grease
after you encounter resistance may damage the bearing.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 until all bearings are greased.
Chains
Lubricating Chains
The chains should be lubricated every 2 months (one shift) or every month (two
shifts). The lubricant should be a high-grade, non-detergent, petroleum-base oil.
Anti-foam, anti-rust, and film-strength improving additives are often beneficial.
SAE 30 grade is recommended.
Apply oil to the edges of the link plates of the chain near where the chain makes
contact with a sprocket and to the inside of the chain generally.
Chains are located in the following places:
