STORING AND HANDLING LUBRICANTS
Your machine can operate at top efficiency only if clean lubricants are used. Contaminant in lubricants is
the most likely cause of bearing and hydraulic system failure. Use clean containers to handle all lubricants.
Store lubricants in an area protected from dust, moisture and other contaminants. Keep hydraulic couplers
and connectors clean.
SEALED BEARING INSTALLATION
1. Clean shaft and coat with rust preventative.
2. Install flangette, bearing, flangette and lock
collar. The locking cam is only on one side of
the bearing.
3. Install and tighten the flangette bolts.
4. When the shaft is located correctly, lock the
lock collar with a punch. The collar should be
locked in the same direction the shaft rotates.
Tighten the setscrew in the collar.
5. Loosen the flangette bolts on the mating
bearing one turn and re-tighten. This will allow
the bearing to line up.
