G1128/G1129 Power Feeders
Rollers
Each of the three roller wheels is fitted with a
grease fitting. Lubricate after every 80 hours of
use. The G1129 comes with a grease gun. The
G1128 requires purchasing a grease gun from
your local hardware store.
Replace rollers when they become worn or dis-
figured. Rollers may be ordered through the
Grizzly parts department. Contact the appropriate
service department.
Clean the wheels when they become dirty. Use a
moist brush with light detergent. Do not allow dirty
wheels to leave unwanted marks on your work-
piece.
Gearbox Lubrication
The internal gearbox oil should be drained and
replaced after every 500 hours of operation. A
drain plug at the top of the wheel housing pro-
vides access for removal of old oil. Remove the
motor/wheel apparatus from the pivot joint,
remove the plug, tip over and drain. Be careful
not to get oil all over the motor. Re-fill to within
of the filler plug with 80-90 weight gear oil.
