Maintenance

Fan Bearing and Belt Tensioner Lubrication

• Grease zerks are provided for lubrication on the fan shaft bearings and the belt tensioner.
• Lubricate the fan every 2-6 months or whenever these components get wet.
• Disconnect power to the fan before lubricating.
• Clean the zerk before lubricating to prevent contamination from entering the bearing.
• Use a high quality lithium based, NLGI #2, grease such as Shell Gadus S2 V100 2. Do not use incompatible greases
containing aluminum, barium, calcium, bentonite clay or polyurea thickeners.
• Slowly rotate the fan shaft by hand while slowly applying the grease. Rapidly applying grease to a stationary bearing
can damage the bearing seals.
• Apply about .10 oz (2.8 g, 3.1 cc) of grease at a time or until a slight amount of grease can be seen purging from the
seal.
