Lubrication - Grizzly G0855 Owner's Manual

Lubrication

Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
It is essential to clean components before lubri-
cating them because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components and make them hard to
move. Simply adding more grease to them will not
yield smooth moving components.
