12.12.2 24 ft Conveyor Grease Points
IMPORTANT! Do not over grease. Pumping more than one
pump from a grease gun into the bearings can cause the
seals to leak grease. This can damage the seals and reduce
their effectiveness.
Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing. Apply one pump
of grease slowly into each fitting.
• Use an SAE multi-purpose high temperature grease with
extreme pressure (EP) performance. Also acceptable is an
SAE multipurpose lithium-based grease.
• Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing to
avoid injecting dirt and grit.
• If fittings do not need grease, remove and clean them
thoroughly. Replace grease fittings as necessary.

discs. The winch brake system cannot function properly if
exposed to oil or grease.
• Apply a drop of SAE 30 engine oil to each bushing inside
diameter and to the ratchet pawl pivot points.
• Maintain a thin layer of marine grease on the gear teeth and
shaft threads.
