MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION OF LINEAR BEARINGS
Step 1--Thoroughly clean all shafts.
Step 2--Flood spray the shafts with a spray lubricant
(do not use a teflon based lubricant) until the lubricant
is dripping off the shafts. Then run the carriage back
and forth through its range of travel. This will carry the
lubricant into the bearings.
Step 3--With a clean rag, wipe off the excess amount of
lubricant from the shafts. Run the carriage back and forth
through its range of travel and wipe the shafts after each
traverse. Repeat until the shafts are dry to the feel. This
completes the lubrication process.
LUBRICATION FREQUENCY
The lubrication frequency is to check the shaft monthly
during grinder operation.
If the unit will be shut down for an extended period of
time, more than two weeks, then the shafts and other
ppropriate parts of the unit should be flooded with
lubricant and that lubricant left in place until the unit is
brought back into service. When the unit is brought back
into service the full lubrication procedure as stated above
should be repeated.
