Regrease the grease-lubricated bearings
NOTICE:
Make sure that the grease container, the greasing device, and the fittings are clean. Failure to
do this can result in impurities entering the bearing housing when you regrease the bearings.
1. Wipe dirt from the grease fittings(319H).
2. Fill both of the grease cavities through the fittings with a recommended grease until the
fresh grease comes out of the relief fittings (319Y).
3. Make sure that the grease retention rings (253) are seated in the bearing housing.
If they are not, press them in place with the drains located at the bottom.
4. Wipe off any excess grease.
5. Recheck the alignment.
The bearing temperature usually rises after you regrease due to an excess supply of grease.
Temperatures return to normal in about two to four operating hours as the pump runs and
purges the excess grease from the bearings.
