located at the top, and a vent port on the bottom. It is important to grease this component
weekly, more often during heavy use to retain seal efficiency. Use a lithium based grade
2 multi-purpose grease

drum rotation. These bearings should be lubricated weekly with a lithium based grade 2
multi-purpose grease.

service is required.
