Model G0792 (Mfd. Since 12/15)
Drive Gears
Grease Type ........ T23964 or NLGI#2 Equivalent
Lubrication ................. Every 50 Operating Hours
The drive gears, shown in
Figure 29, should
always have a thin coat of heavy grease to mini-
mize corrosion, noise, and wear.
Before lubricating the drive gears, clean them
thoroughly with mineral spirits to remove old
grease. Use a small brush if necessary to clean
between teeth.
Using a clean brush, apply a thin layer of grease
on gears. Make sure to get grease between gear
teeth, but do not fill teeth valleys.
Apply a small dab of grease where gear teeth
mesh together—this grease will be distributed
when gears rotate during machine operation.
Note: If for any reason you need to replace a
gear, clean and lubricate all gears at that time.
Leadscrew
Oil Type .... Grizzly T23962 or ISO 68 Equivalent
Oil Amount ......................................... As Needed
Lubrication Frequency ....................... As Needed
Before lubricating the leadscrew (see
Figure 29),
clean it first with mineral spirits. A stiff brush works
well to help clean out the threads. Make sure to
raise and lower the upper roller, so you can clean
the entire length of the leadscrew.

for cleaning and lubricating.
Leadscrew
Drive Gears
Apply a thin coat of oil along the length of the
leadscrew. Use a stiff brush to apply oil evenly
and down into the threads, then raise and lower
the upper roller to thoroughly disperse the oil.
Note: In some environments, abrasive material
can become caught in the leadscrew lubricant
and drawn into the leadscrew nut. In this case,
lubricate the leadscrew with a quality dry lubricant
such as Grizzly G2545 Silicone Lubricant (see
Accessories on Page 22).
