Proper bearing adjustment is essential to good bearing
life. Do not leave bearing adjusted too tightly. Bearings
should turn freely without any noticeable end play.
When the bearings are adjusted, coat area of spindle
housing where seal seats with Permatex and press
seal (4) (with spring-loaded lip up) into housing using
care to prevent seal cage distortion.
When the bearings are adjusted, tighten nut against
sleeve and bearing (5). Insert brass plug (2) into hole in
nut then tighten set screw (3) against brass plug (2).
Grease spindle through grease fitting (8) until a small
amount of grease escapes seal.
Install spindle on unit.
