Baldor Motor Greasing Guidelines
Lubrication Procedure
***Lock off and tag out power at the disconnect before servicing***
*** Motor should be warm prior to greasing***
1.
Locate the grease inlet, clean the area, replace the pipe plug with a grease fitting.
2. Remove grease drain plug.
3.
Add recommended amount of grease. Stop when new grease appears at shaft hole
in the endplate or grease outlet plug.
4.
Replace grease inlet plug and run the motor for 15 minutes.
5. Replace the grease drain plug.
Correct Grease Gun Procedures
1.
Use hand-operated grease gun, not a pneumatic grease gun. Pump grease slowly,
taking 10 to 12 seconds to complete each stroke.
2.
Apply quantity of grease called for. Over-lubrication can be as damaging as under-
lubrication.
3.
Do not over-lubricate motors. Over-lubrication of a motor can seriously damage it by
forcing grease into motor windings. Over-lubrication of the extract motor can force
grease into the centrifugal switch causing it to malfunction.
Approved Grease
• Shell Dolium R (factory installed)
• Chevron SRI (standard service conditions)
• Darmex 707 (high temp conditions)
