Maintenance
For best results, grease should be compounded of a
polyurea type and a good grade of petroleum oil and
stabilized against oxidation.
The frequency of relubricating bearings and the
amount added each time depends on two factors -
speed and service.
All grease lube bearing motors will have affixed a
plate with lubricating instructions. The instructions on
this plate should be followed to achieve optimum
bearing life and to avoid consequential damage to
rotating parts.
Relubricate with the type of grease specified on the
lubrication plate mounted on the motor, or compatible
grease. Mixing of non-compatible greases can cause
bearing failure.
Relubricate bearings with the proper grade of grease
as follows:
1. Stop the motor and lock out the switch.
2. Thoroughly clean the grease inlet fitting or plug.
If the motor has a plug, remove plug and clean
the inlet.
the inlet.
3. Remove the drain plug (and overflow plug, if so
equipped) and clean out any hardened grease.
4. Slowly pump the correct amount of grease into
the grease inlet, per the lubrication plate mounted
on the motor. Replace inlet plug (and overflow
plug, if so equipped).

NOTE
If unit has been in operation for several years the old
grease can harden. If this occurs remove bolts
holding bottom inside end cap, raise end cap and
wipe out hardened grease. Reassemble and add a
small amount of fresh grease.

NOTE
Because the lower bearing is single shielded, the
grease will not pass through the drain port unless the
motor is run for some time.
