stearate grease. For relubrication select a grease that is
compatible with #2 lithium 12-Hydroxystearate.
Relubricate in accordance with the recommendation of
Table 2.

STORAGE OR SPECIAL SHUT DOWN
If equipment will be idle for some time, before shutting
down, add compatible grease to the bearing until grease
purges from the seals. This will ensure protection of the
bearing, particularly when exposed to severe environ-
mental conditions. After storage or idle period, add fresh
grease to the bearing before starting.

OPERATION TEMPERATURES
Abnormal bearing temperatures may indicate insufficient
lubrication. If the housing is too hot to touch for more
than a few seconds, check the temperature by applying
a thermometer at the top of the pillow block with the ther-
mometer top surrounded by putty.
Because the thermometer reading will be approximately
10°F lower than the actual bearing temperature, add ten
degrees to the reading and compare to the temperature
rating of your grease. If the bearing temperature reading
is consistent and operating within the recommended lim-
its of your grease, the bearing is operating satisfactorily.
The recommended maximum operating temperature for
No. 2 lithium base grease is 200°F.
