Service & Maintenance
GREASING
Use an SAE multi-purpose high temperature grease with
extreme pressure (EP) performance meeting or exceeding
the NLGI # 2 rating for all requirements. Also acceptable is
an SAE multi-purpose lithium based grease.
Care should be taken when re-greasing bearings to not over-
fill the bearing. Over greasing can lead to overheating and/
or unsealing the bearing seals.

2. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing,
to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
