6. If possible, manually rotate the shaft at least three revolutions to distribute grease within
the bearings before starting the motor.
Periodic Lubrication of HPK-x1815…HPK-x2510 Motors
The HPK- x1815, HPK-x2010, HPK-x2012, HPK-x2212, and HPK-x2510 motor design has a
positive lubrication system for routing new grease directly into the bearing. The tables below
show lubrication periods and amounts for varying service conditions, speeds, bearing types, and
operating hours.
Lubrication Procedure
Follow these steps to lubricate the motor:
1. Locate the grease inlet at the top of the bearing hub and clean the area.
2. If the motor is not equipped with a grease fitting, replace the pipe plug with a grease
fitting.
3. Remove the grease drain plug opposite the grease inlet.

4. Using a manual grease gun, pump in the recommended amount of grease.
5. Replace any temporary grease fittings that were installed, and then wipe away any excess
grease at the grease drain or relief.
6. Replace the drain plugs.
ATTENTION: Lubrication with the shaft stationary and a warm motor is
recommended.
If lubrication must be performed with the motor running, stay clear of rotating
parts and electrical circuits.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in bodily injury.
