RECEIVING & INSPECTION

1.  Carefully unpack the Cool Lube 2 system. Inspect the system 

for any damage during shipping.

2.  Report any damage to the carrier for claims.

3.  Make sure that available voltage supply is within 10% of the 

system voltage.

4.  Check all hydraulics to ensure that nothing came loose during 

shipping. Tighten as needed.

5.  Changes to this unit may void the warranty.

INSTALLATION

1.  Place the unit in the designated area and anchor it down 

using the 4 mounting holes in the base plate. The unit should 

be positioned below the circulating oil drain holes in the 

bearings so that at least a 15° drain line slope is achieved to 

allow for adequate oil return (see Figure 1).

2.  Make sure that there is enough space around the unit to allow 

for servicing.

3.  Connect oil supply lines (not included) from the two 1/2” NPT 

(female) outputs of the flow meters to the circulating oil inlets 

on the housings. Connection details for each type of Sleevoil 

bearing are provided in sections following (see Figure 2).

NOTE: All plumbing should be cleaned and flushed 

before being connected to the bearings.
