LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION
•
It is extremely important that the following lubrication schedule be followed: Bearings: use a good quality
multipurpose grease. Replace all damaged or missing grease zerks immediately. Always clean zerks before using
grease gun. Pump the grease in slowly until a slight bead forms around the bearing seals. Once a month check lines
and connections on grease banks for leaks.
•
Oilbath Oil: Use a good high quality universal oil. Use an oil that meets or exceeds hydraulic oil grade. Fill to a level
just above the lowest roller chain link in the oilbath. Change yearly or whenever contaminated.
•
Before operating a new mixer, the roller chains should be liberally lubricated and then the unit operated under a
no-load condition. This break-in period will allow the roller chains to be thoroughly lubricated and thus minimize
heat-up during operation.
