- Both rotor shaft bearings are grease filled for life (in normal working conditions) with
Lithium grease including anti corrosive and anti penetration properties (Class 3).
These bearings must not be re-greased or their working life will be significantly
reduced.
For detailed greasing instructions and intervals, please refer to the extra sheet
'Greasing instructions'
coming with every machine.

Attention:
Even knives – discs moved by hand –in case of knives exchange- have,
due to their weight, sufficient force to result in squeeze injuries. Please watch at re –
