Lubrication for Slip Members
Please refer to the Lubrication information in the Component
Safety section on page 2.
The grease used for universal joints is satisfactory for slip
members. Glidecote® and steel splines both use a high qual-
ity E.P. grease meeting N.L.G.I. Grade 2 specifications.
Grease splines at the intervals recommended in the Lubrica-
tion Intervals table page 11.
1. Apply grease gun pressure to the grease zerk (nip-
ple) fitting until grease appears at the pressure relief
hole in the plug.
2. Now cover the pressure relief hole with your finger
and continue to apply pressure until grease appears
at the slip yoke seal.
Note: Use caution to prevent seal damage when using high
pressure lubrication systems.
Lubrication of Center Bearing Assemblies
Spicer center bearings are lubricated for life. No attempt
should be made to add to or change grease within the bearing
itself.
Note: For pillow blocks, use original-component manufac-
turer’s recommended greases and lubrication intervals.
