self-aligning feature of the bearing unit. Consult the
LUBRICATION section for additional information.
Sleeve type bearings are self-lubricating and will not
normally require additional lubrication during their
normal service life. Ball type bearings are shielded or
sealed and will not normally require additional
lubrication during their normal service life.
9) Determine that all safety decals and operational
information decals (including the applicable Quik Tips
information) is in proper and readable condition.
Replace any missing or damaged safety decal and/or
information decal with a factory approved replacement
part only.
10) The Bon Floor Stripper utilizes antivibration
handle grips on the operator handle to enhance
control and help dampen the forces experienced
during the covering removal process. Determine the
handle is equipped with properly fitting handle grips of
sufficient integrity to allow for proper job function as
outlined in this manual. Loose fitting handle grips or
grips without end caps should be replaced with factory
approved replacement parts only.

LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS.
Parts Required:
1 each, standard grease gun filled with one of the
following: ESSO Beacon 325, Shell Alvania #2,
Chevron SRI, or equivalent.
1 each, container of dry film lubricant.
1) Lubricate the caster wheel bearings with a dry film
lubricant only. Dry film lubricants dry immediately upon
contact. Use sparingly. Excess lubricant will attract the
fine grained, powdered materials described and
directly affect bearing service life.
Do not lubricate the caster wheels with any
lubricant other than a dry film type. Grease
and many other liquid type lubricants will
attract foreign material accumulations that
can reduce bearing service life.
2) Zerk
®
type grease fittings are provided at two
locations:
a) To lubricate the Back Saver™ Blade Control
System jackscrew. Keep the jackscrew properly
lubricated with grease to minimize friction when oper-
ating the blade control lever. Excessive lubrication will
attract foreign material accumulations that can reduce
jackscrew service life. FIGURE 32.
b) To lubricate the exciter bearing and bearing hous-
ing casting. The exciter utilizes a shielded type ball
bearing. The Zerk
®
fitting provides lubrication for
both the balls and self-aligning feature of the bearing
unit. FIGURE 33. Grease interval will vary depending
upon machine utilization rates and operating environ-
ment factors. Grease accumulation on the bearing
and housing would indicate excessive lubrication.
Sleeve type bearings utilized for the operator handle
are self-lubricating and will not normally require
additional lubrication during their normal service life.
Ball type bearings are shielded or sealed and will not
normally require additional lubrication during their
normal service life.
