Tiger Explorer XR Series
Below/overleaf several common bearing types and the lubrication procedures for each are identified:
Note
Sealed bearings can be identified by their integrated seals.
Sealed bearings are lubricated for life by the manufacturer.
Any attempt to change the grease in a sealed bearing will damage the integrated seals. If the seals
are damaged, dirt and water will ingress and the life of the bearing will be greatly reduced.
1. Grease must be forced between the inner race and the roller carrier.
2. Rotate the bearing to ensure that the grease is distributed over the entire circumference of the internal parts.
3. Any excess grease should be smeared on the outside of the rollers.
