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.

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.
