4.3 Lubrication:
The following are general lubrication procedures for our
standard units. Any special or custom built units may
have other lubrication procedures not directly mentioned
in this manual. Please consult ODB before any lubricat-
ing procedures not specifically mentioned in this manual.
Proper lubrication of your unit correlates directly to how
long your unit will last. A properly maintained unit will last
much longer than a unit that is not maintained properly.
NOTE: Always lubricate bearings at the end of each work
day. This will displace any moisture in the bearings. Also
lubricate thorougly before extended shutdown or storage.
Lubrication Points:
1. Drive Bearings (if equipped) (figure 4.3a): These
bearings are critical components of the belt-driven
units. These bearings should be greased every 10
hours with approximately two strokes from the aver-
age hand pump grease gun. The type of grease used
in these bearings are also critical to the performance
of the bearings. A multi-purpose, heavy-load, high-
temperature, moisture resistant #2 grease is required
for the drive bearings. ODB recommends Mantek Elite
Supreme #1 WG Extreme Duty multi-purpose grease..
Other premium quality grease that matches the above
requirements may be used but after years of testing
ODB recommends the Elite Supreme grease.
Remove the negative battery terminal before at-
tempting any lubrication procedures.
Thoroughly read and understand the safety and
pre-operating sections of this manual before per-
forming any lubrication procedures.
