Lubrication - Grizzly G0603X Owner's Manual

Lubrication

The Model G0603X features factory-sealed bear-
ings. A sealed bearing requires no lubrication dur-
ing its lifetime. Should a bearing fail, your planer
will probably develop a noticeable rumble/vibra-
tion, which will increase when the machine is put
under load. The bearings are standard sizes and
can be replaced through Grizzly.
Proper lubrication of other planer components is
essential for long life and trouble-free operation.
Below is a list of components that require periodic
lubrication. Schedules are based on daily use.
Adjust accordingly for your level of use.
Always disconnect power to
the machine before lubricat-
ing! Failure to do this may
result in serious personal
injury.
Table Elevation Screws
Use a light grease to lubricate the two elevation
screws.
To access and lubricate the table elevation
screws:
1. Raise the table all the way up.
2. DISCONNECT THE
POWER!
3. Remove the two screws securing the top of
the rubber dust covers (see Figure 25).
4.
Pull the covers down and apply a small amount
of light grease to the elevation screws.
5.
Secure the dust covers with the screws
removed in Step 3.
Gearboxes
Change the oil for the cutterhead/feed gearbox
and the table gearbox after the first 20 hours of
operation. Thereafter, change the oil every 24
months.

Chains
Use a lightly oiled paint brush to wipe down the
chain and gears. Chains are located in the follow-
ing areas:
• One on both sides of the cutterhead (accessed
under the headstock cover).
• One connecting the cutterhead/feed gearbox
to the feed rollers (accessed through the left
side panels).
• One found on the face of the cutterhead/feed
gearbox (accessed through the top left side
panel).
• One connecting the table adjusting handwheel
to the table (accessed through the bottom
right access panel).
• Two attaching the table motor with the two
elevation screw bases (found underneath the
table and accessed through the bottom rear
panel).
Table Ways
Wipe the table ways with an oily rag and kept free
from dust buildup.
