Bearing Service
Inspect the bearing. There should be plenty
of grease in sight. If grease is needed the
bearing and breaker should be removed to
check the action of the bearing. It should
rotate smoothly.
If the bearing only needs grease, inject
grease into the bearing using Scotsman
grease needle pn 02-3559-01 and Scotsman
bearing grease cartridge, pn A36808-001. Be
sure to inject grease evenly and thoroughly.
Bearing Replacement
The bearing can be replaced if it can be pressed out of the bearing retainer. An arbor
press is required to remove the bearing. Whenever the bearing is replaced the two lip
seals under the bearing must also be replaced.
Lip Seal Replacement
Press out the old bearing and pry out the old
lip seals.
Place the first new lip seal in the bearing
retainer, the U faces up. Use a 2" PVC
coupling and place it in the U of the seal.
Press the seal into place with the coupling.
Repeat for the second seal.
After the lip seals have been replaced the
new bearing can be pressed into the bearing
retainer.
The breaker generally does not wear out and
need to be replaced unless there has been
severe bearing failure.
