CAUTION:
Hydraulic pressure —
can push out seals and push grease into unwanted
areas (example: motor windings).
�
Use a hand grease gun. A power grease gun gives too much pressure.
�
Know the quantity of grease your grease gun gives each cycle (each
stroke).
�
Operate the grease gun slowly (10 to 12 seconds for one cycle).
�
Add only the specified quantity. Stop if new grease come out of a drain port or other
opening.
�
Remove spilled grease from belts and pulleys.
The tables give grease quantities in fluid ounces (fl oz) and milliliters (mL). You can also use
grease gun cycles (strokes). A cycle is each time that you pull the trigger. One cycle is usually ap-
proximately 0.06 fl oz (1.8 mL). Your grease gun can give more or less than this. Measure the
output of your grease gun as follows:
•
Make sure that the grease gun operates correctly.
•
Operate the grease gun to put grease into a small container with fluid ounce or milliliter incre-
ments. Pull the trigger fully and slowly.
•
Add a sufficient quantity of grease to measure accurately. Count the number of cycles of the
grease gun (the number of times that you pull the trigger).
•
Calculate the quantity for each cycle of the grease gun, as in the following examples.
Example: 2 fl oz / 64 cycles = 0.031 fl oz for each cycle
Example: 59 mL / 64 cycles = 0.92 mL for each cycle

Procedures for Motors

If a motor on your machine does not have grease fittings, no grease maintenance is necessary. If a
motor on your machine has grease fittings, it is necessary to add grease. But the interval is usually
longer than for other maintenance.
Table 9: Motor Grease Intervals and Quantities, page 20
gives
motor grease intervals and quantities for motors with specified frame sizes and speeds. You get
this data from the motor nameplate. Use
Table 5: Motor Grease Schedule, page 15
to record the
data for the motors on your machine.
CAUTION:
Failure to remove grease drain plugs —
can cause grease to enter the
windings and burn out the motor.
�
If the motor has grease drain plugs, remove them before you add
grease. If the motor has grease relief fittings, it is not necessary to remove
them.
