Ring Bearing Maintenance (If Applicable)
The ring bearing should be re-lubricated internally and externally.
Internally: Locate the grease zerk located directly on the ring bearing. Pump one full shot
of grease into the zerk every six months. This should be plenty of lubrication for most
applications. Pumping too much grease into the ring bearing can destroy the ring bearing
by dislocating the rubber grease seal.
Externally: by lubricating and wiping the chain drive with oily cloth. The frequency of
lubrication depends on entirely upon the usage of the machine and environment in which
the machine is placed (dust, moisture etc.). Machines working under extremely dirty con-
ditions should be lubricated every 400 operating hours but at minimum, every 2 months.
Longer lubrication intervals may occur only when machine is working under very clean
and dry conditions but should be not be longer than 6 months.
