LUBRICATION

Motors made up to frame 160 are not fitted with grease fitting, while larger frames up to frame 200 this device is optional.
For frame 225 to 355 grease fitting is supplied as standard. Proper Lubrication extends bearing life.

LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS

- Inject about half the estimated amount of grease and run the motor at full speed for approximately a minute; switch off the motor and inject the remaining grease.
The injection of all the grease with the motor at rest could cause penetration of a portion of the lubricant through the internal seal of the bearing case and hence into the motor.
Nipples must be clean prior to introduction of grease to avoid entry of any alien bodies into the bearing.
For lubricating, use only a manual grease gun.

BEARING LUBRICATION STEPS

1. Clean the area around the grease nipples with clean cotton fabric.
2. With the motor running, add grease with a manual grease gun until the quantity of grease recommended in Tables
9 or 10 has been applied.
3. Allow the motor to run long enough to eject all excess of grease.
