Grease Fittings Locations
Procedure
Clean the grease fitting (or area around grease hole, if equipped with slot
-
ted grease screws). If motor has a purge plug, remove it. Motors can be
re-greased while stopped (at less than 80 C) or running. Apply grease gun to
fitting (or grease hole). Too much grease or injecting grease too quickly can
cause premature bearing failure. Slowly apply the recommended amount of
grease, taking 1 minute or so to apply. Operate motor for 20 minutes, rein-
stall purge plug if previously removed. Caution: Keep grease clean. Mixing
dissimilar grease is not recommended.
