Lubrication - Grizzly EXTREME G9860 Owner's Manual

Lubrication

other than lubrication points covered in this sec-
tion, all other bearings are internally lubricated
and sealed at the factory. simply leave them
alone unless they need to be replaced.
an essential step for lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them. this idea
is critical because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components and make the them hard
to move. simply adding more grease to the com-
ponents with built-up grime on them will not yield
smooth moving components.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/
grease solvent or mineral spirits. Make sure the
surfaces are dry before applying additional lubri-
cant.

the cutterhead bearing blocks are located on
either end of the cutterhead (refer to cutterhead
breakdown on pages 54 & 61 for detailed illus-
trations). the grease fitting for the front bearing
block is accessed through a hole in the front table
cover. to access the grease fitting for the back
bearing block, you must remove the fence.
Clean debris and grime from the grease fitting and
the surrounding area, then use a grease pump to
add lubricant.
