Spindle Bearing Lubrication Update:
Normal maintenance of the # 02960553B, 02960553C and 02968859A Spindle assemblies
has included the addition of NLGI 000 grease to provide proper lubrication of the bearing assemblies.
Due to repeated customer requests, this lubrication requirement has been changed to NLGI EP, #
2 Lithium Wheel Bearing Grease.
Implementation of this grease will allow
improved lubrication especially to the top bearing
as well as substantial improvement of the daily
maintenance requirements.
Conversion:
1. Remove the existing fill plug from the
spindle housing and discard it. (this is the
lower plug in figure 1)
2. Install a standard 1/4" fine thread grease
zert into the fill plug port as shown in figure 1.
3. Remove the Vent plug (Top plug in figure 1)
4. Fill the housing with NLGI EP, # 2 Lithium Grease or equivalent from a standard grease gun
until the new grease is seen in the vent plug hole. (Approximately 2 standard grease tubes
will be required when Spindle Assembly is empty).
5. Clean off any excess or over flow grease and reinstall vent plug.
6. Maintain proper lubrication with 5 pumps of grease into the spindle every 8 hours of use. This
will keep the Spindle bearings lubricated.
7. Always clean excess Grease away from Spindle after greasing Spindle.
