MS15H/MS15E MIXER — MAINTENANCE (MIXER)
Drum Bearing Bracket Lubrication
There is 1 set of drum bearing brackets (Figure 16) that will
require lubrication. These brackets are intended to make
the drum rotate freely. Lubricate the grease fitting for each
drum bearing bracket
every month or when the drum
becomes difficult to position using multi-purpose grade
grease.
Countershaft Bearing Lubrication
There is 1 set of countershaft bearings (Figure 17) that will
require lubrication. Lubricate the grease fitting for each
countershaft bearing
every 40 hours of operation using
any grade lithium base grease.

Drum Head Seals
There is 1 set of drum head seals (Figure 15) that will require
lubrication.
Figure 16. Grease Fittings (Dumping Mechanism)
Failure to lubricate the drum bearing grease fittings
periodically will cause the dumping mechanism to stiffen,
making the mixing drum hard to dump.

Grease Fittings
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
Grease Fittings (Zerk) Maintenance (Electric Motor)
1. There are two grease (Figure 18) fittings at each end of the
electric motor that will require lubrication. Lubricate these
fittings
about every 16 months.
2. Use Poleyrex EM (Exxon Mobil) or equalivant lubricant.
Clean grease fitting, apply grease gun to fitting (1/2 shot).
Remember too much grease or injecting grease too quickly
can cause premature bearing failure. Slowly apply the
recommended amount of grease, taking a miniute or so to
apply.

CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
Grease seals every 40 hours of operation using any grade
#1 lithium base grease. Apply grease until visible of mixing tub
(over grease). This will purge seal system of contamination.
