BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS

Install the bearings 1 and oil seals 2 with their
manufacturer's marks or numbers facing out-
wards. (In other words, the stamped letters
must be on the side exposed to view.) When
installing oil seals, apply a light coating of light-
weight lithium base grease to the seal lips. Oil
the bearings liberally when installing.
CAUTION:
Do not use compressed air to spin the bear-
ings dry. This causes damage to the surface
of the bearings.
