Lubrication

NOTICE
Failure to followed reasonable lubrication
practices as instructed in this manual for
your machine could lead to premature fail-
ure of components and void the warranty.
Your planer features bearings that are lubricated
and sealed at the factory. These bearing do not
require any further attention unless they need
to be replaced. If a bearing fails, your planer will
probably develop a noticeable rumble or vibration,
which will increase when the machine is under a
load. The bearings are standard sizes and can
be replaced through Grizzly (refer to the Parts
Breakdowns beginning on Page 49 for bearing
identification).
Follow the maintenance schedule on Page 30
and the procedures listed below to properly lubri-
cate the other planer components, which are
essential for long life and trouble-free operation
of your planer.
Feed Roller Bushings
The infeed and outfeed rollers rotate inside bush-
ing blocks on both ends of the rollers. Add 2–3
drops of SAE 30W oil to the center hole of the four
feed roller tension adjustment bolts on top of the
head casting, as shown in Figure 27.

Columns and Leadscrews
The table rides on the columns and is moved by
the rotation of the leadscrews inside the columns.
For Model G0454, loosen the dust sleeve (see
Figure 28) to access the columns and lead-
screws. Apply a thin coat of SAE 30W oil to the
outside surface of the columns and brush on a
light application of multi-purpose grease to the
leadscrew threads. Move the table up and down
to distribute the lubricant.

Table Height Worm Gear
Remove the three cap screws that secure the
worm gear housing (see Figure 29), then lift
the housing and handwheel assembly off the
machine. Clean away any debris from the housing
and gears, then brush on a moderate amount of
multi-purpose grease to the gear teeth.
