bottoms out against #14781 Blade Tension Handle then
fill the cavity under the O-Ring on the #14782 Blade
Tension Screw with #374 Shell Cassida Grease EPS-2
and reassemble.
7. MOTOR BEARINGS:
ability of a grease (over time) depends primarily on the type of grease, the size of the bearing, the speed at which
the bearing operates and the severity of the operating conditions. Good results can be obtained if the following
recommendations are used in your maintenance program.
A high grade ball or roller bearing grease should be used. Recommended grease for standard service conditions is
Polyrex EM (Exxon Mobil).
Equivalent and compatible greases include: Texaco Polystar, Rykon Premium #2, Pennzoil Pen 2 Lube, and
Chevron SRI.
Recommended lubrications intervals is every 12 months with the equivalent of two (2) teaspoons of grease.
If the motor does not have zerk fittings, the motor bearings are sealed for life.
Clean outer diameter grooves daily. Check for cracks, gouges or wear on the flange and grooves.
Check condition of fiber cleaner, change every four (4) weeks.
Check condition of bar for wear, replace if necessary.

SEE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
When lubricating the upper wheel bearing it is important that the three hex head
screws securing the upper wheel hub cap be loosened slightly before attempt-
ing to pump grease into the grease fitting. Loosening the screws allows for an
escape of old broken down grease and air from the bearing cavity. Failure to
loosen the screws before greasing the upper bearings can cause the upper shaft
seal to be dislodged from the upper wheel allowing grease to escape and
moisture to get into the cavity. When finished greasing the bearings, retighten
the three screws. Take care to also clean off any grease that was pushed out of
the cavity during greasing.
