6.18 Lubricate
Blower Motor
(Option)
Blower motor must be lubricated once a year. When necessary, grease can
be completely renewed by forcing out old grease with new grease.
1.
If possible, place a pan under motor to catch old grease.
NOTE: Motor should be lubricated while warm.
2.
Thoroughly wipe off housing around fill and drain plugs.
3.
Remove fill and drain plugs (see Figure 6-14). Clear drain hole of any
hardened grease which may have accumulated.
NOTE: Depending on model and year of blower, motor may be equipped
with one or two grease fittings. If motor is not provided with grease fittings,
no lubrication is necessary.
4.
Using a low pressure grease gun, add recommended grease through fill
hole until it starts to come out of drain hole.
NOTE: Use only fresh, uncontaminated lubricant.
5.
Run motor for ten to twenty minutes to expel any excess grease.
6.
Thoroughly clean fill and drain plugs before replacing them.
