Bearings
Sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bearings are
standard sizes, and replacements can be purchased from our parts department or bearing supply store.
Greasing
The photos on this page label the grease fittings by number for easy identification. Wipe clean and
lubricate the grease fittings with two pumps of high temp bearing grease. The proper greasing intervals
are indicated by white boxes on the chart below.
Note—This page was designed to be copied and used as a check-off chart to help maintain a regular
lubrication schedule.

Hydraulic Fluid Schedule
Check the hydraulic fluid level daily.
The hydraulic system controls the movement of the conveyor belts. In order for this system to function
properly and operate at the correct temperature, the hydraulic fluid level in the tank should be 2/3 full
between the fill lines on the fluid sight window, which is located on the front of the tank.
Note—The 2/3 level is approximately the same as the 60°C mark on the sight window thermometer.
To add hydraulic fluid, remove the breather cap shown . Use an ISO VG 10— Antiwear 10 Hydraulic
Fluid or equivalent.
