All nuts and bolts used to assemble unit are high grade and have been set to proper torque at Sponge-Jet, Inc. Due to unit being under constant vibration it is suggested that nuts and bolts be checked periodically during scheduled maintenance.
5.4 LUBRICATION Bearing lubrication is extremely critical due to heavy loading and vibration. Be sure to follow greasing instructions. Unit is pre-greased at Sponge-Jet, Inc. with Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 for Balance cage shaft bearings. Blending of greases of a different detergent base is likely to result in a marked deteriora- tion of lubricity with risk of premature bearing failure.
