Lubrication - Grizzly G0764Z Owner's Manual

Lubrication

An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them. This step
is critical because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components, which makes them hard
to move. Simply adding more lubrication to built-
up grime will not result in smooth-moving parts.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/
grease solvent cleaner or mineral spirits before
applying lubrication.
All bearings are sealed and permanently lubri-
cated. Leave them alone until they need to be
replaced. Refer to Page 66 for NLGI#2 grease
(T23964) available from Grizzly.
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
