SECTION 3 - MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
Checking Condition of Extended Lubrication Lines
Check the lubrication lines, as shown in Figure 49 on the previous page, for:
•
Cracks and brittleness. Replace as needed.
•
Fittings are tight and lube lines tight on fittings.
•
Air bubbles in grease. Disconnect and purge as necessary.
Recommended Lubricant for Bearings
Use a lithium/petroleum based grease conforming to an NLGI Grade II consistency. The lubricant must be free of any
chemical impurities such as free acid or free alkali, dust, rust, metal particles, or abrasives. This light viscosity, low
torque grease is rust inhibited and water resistant, and has a temperature range of -30°F to +200°F with intermittent
highs of +250°F. Lubricate bearings as required by the severity of required duty.
Proper Interval and Quantity
Refer to the three tables below for the proper lubrication
intervals for the bearings listed earlier in this section.
NOTE -
The bearing on the split pillow blocks is 1/3
full when only one side of bearing is completely full
of grease.
