The bearings must not be completely filled with grease. However, if space is available
beside the bearing fitting, the bearing may be totally filled with grease when mounted,

During operation, the bearing should be filled to 70-80% of the available volume.

Ensure that grease is handled and stored properly to avoid contamination.

Grooved ball bearings must be filled with grease from both sides.
