BALL BEARING UNIT LUBRICATION
All bearing units are lubricated at factory and are ready for use (except for unusually severe
applications). Lubricated for life bearings have no grease fittings and require no additional
lubrication while in use. Re-lube bearing housings have a lubrication fitting mounted on the
housing and should be lubricated when used in wet or dirty applications.
NOTE: Bearings subjected to solvents while cleaning Impregnator should be lubricated after
machine is cleaned. Failure to do so may result in damage to the bearing or contamination by
catalyzed resin which will freeze baring unit up and render machine inoperable.
Experience will determine the best interval for each specific application. When lubricating
bearings, add grease slowly while shaft is rotating. When grease begins to come out of seals,
bearing will contain the correct amount of lubricant. See lubrication materials list.
DRIVE CHAIN LUBRICATION
All drive chains are Number 40, ½” pitch, single strand, standard roller chain. Lubrication will
reduce noise of the chain drive. Roller chain should be kept in good condition by proper
lubrication and occasional cleaning. Lubricate manually with oil applied periodically with brush
or spout can.
NOTE: Chain drives are located at bridge drive assembly, carriage drive assembly, turret drive
assembly, and under gear cover on left end of Impregnator. The large spur gears that drive feed
rolls should be lubricated at same time as the drive chain.
PNEUMATIC SYSTEM LUBRICATION
The pneumatic system is provided with an in-line lubrication device. This lubricator should be
kept ¾ full of Air Motor Oil. For prolonged storage of unit, air valves and motors should be
lubricated with Air Motor Oil through inlet ports and operated two or three times prior to shut-
down. See lubrication materials list.
H.I.S SYSTEM LUBRICATION
Resin Pump:
The MVP pump, supplied with your Impregnator unit, has an in-line lubricator on the power head
of pump. This oiler should be kept not more than ¾ full at all times with a light-weight machine
oil, S.A.E. 10 or preferably, Air Motor Oil. The proper amount should be approximately 5-10
drops per minute.
The lubricant or solvent cup at bottom of the pump casting, (surrounding the piston shaft),
should be kept at least ½ full of light weight machine oil, S.A.E. 30 or automatic transmission
fluid. See lubrication materials list.
The only other lubrication requirements of the resin pump are lubrication of all threads and seals
in the fluid portion of the pump with MVP Grease, upon assembly. Air motor threads and seals
should be lubricated with lubriplate upon assembly. See lubrication materials list.
H.I.S. GUN
There are two (2) areas on the gun that require lubrication.
1. Threads of the nozzle cap should be well lubricated with MVP Grease.
