Texaco L-15, Chevron SR1. Clean fittings before greasing. For low temperatures, use Dow Molykote BR-2. DO NOT OVER GREASE. • For cold weather operations, use bearing lubricant Allen BR-2. This grease flows at amients of -22°F~ thru 356°F. • CAUTION! When installing pillow block bearings, be sure that the bottom flat surface does not have nicks or deep marks. this can cause the bearing to ride off of the mounted surface; when vibration occurs this small deformation can wear off quickly, allowing the bearing to loosen.
