Power Frame Maintenance
General Maintenance:
Fill power frame oil cup (item 9) to the “oil level” line, about ½” from the top edge of the cup. Use
standard motor oil, SAE-10W-40, 10W-30, SW-30, or equivalent.
Drain and change oil after every 2,000 hours of operation. Increase frequency of oil changes if operating
in an adverse environment, for example high moisture, very high or low temperatures, etc.
Disassembly:
1. Remove bearing cap bolts (item 6)
2. Slide bearing cap (item 5) out of housing and over the end of the shaft (item 2)
3. Remove shaft/bearing assembly by sliding out of housing
Reassembly:
1. Press new bearings (item 3 both ends) onto shaft if replacement is required
2. Inspect the surface of the shaft (item 2) for burrs and scratches, clean and smooth as required.
