LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION OF GRINDING SHAFT AND LINEAR BEARINGS
STEP 1 – Thoroughly clean all three shafts.
STEP 2 – Flood spray all three shafts with CRC 3-36 until the lubricant is dripping off the shafts. (Do
not use a Teflon-based lubricant) Then run the grinding head assemblies back and forth through
their full range of travel. This will remove the dust and deposits from inside the wheel flanges. Repeat
if necessary until lubrication is clear of deposits. Clean keyways located on the grinding shaft with soft
brush.
STEP 3 – With a clean rag, wipe off the excess amount of lubricant from the shafts. Run the grinding
assemblies through their range of travel and wipe the shafts after each traverse. Repeat until the
shafts are dry to the feel. This completes the lubrication process.
IMPORTANT:
If the unit will be shut down for an extended period of time, more than four weeks, then the shafts and
other appropriate parts of the unit should be flooded with lubricant and that lubricant left in place until
the unit is brought back into service. When the unit is brought back into service the full lubrication
procedure as stated above should be repeated.
