4.3 LUBRICATION:
The following are general lubrication procedures for our
standard units. Any special or custom built units may
have other lubrication procedures not directly mentioned
in this manual. Please consult ODB before any lubricat-
ing procedures not specifically mentioned in this manual.
Proper lubrication of your unit correlates directly to how long
your unit will last. A properly maintained unit will last much
longer than a unit that is not maintained properly.
NOTE:
Always lubricate bearings at the end of each work day.
This will displace any moisture in the bearings. Also lubri-
cate thorougly before extended shutdown or storage.
Remove the negative battery terminal before
attempting any lubrication procedures.
Thoroughly read and understand the safety and
pre-operating sections of this manual before per-
forming any lubrication procedures.
Lubrication Points:
1.
Drive Bearings (if equippped) (figure 4.3a):
These bearings are critical components of the belt-
driven units. These bearings should be greased
every 10 hours with approximately two strokes from
the average hand pump grease gun. The type of
grease used in these bearings are also critical to
the performance of the bearings. A multi-purpose,
heavy-load, high-temperature, moisture resistant #2
grease is required for the drive bearings. ODB
recommends LubeMaster Premalube 4234 grease.
Other premium quality grease that matches the
above requirements may be used but after years of
testing ODB recommends the Premalube grease.
Figure 4.3A
NOTE;
DO NOT mix different types
of grease. The old grease MUST BE
purged before a different type of
grease is used. Mixing grease WILL
cause premature failure to the bear-
ings.
