Lubrication, Fence Assembly Pivot Points | Grizzly G9860 instruction

Lubrication

Other than lubrication points covered in this sec- tion, all other bearings are internally lubricated and sealed at the factory. Simply leave them alone unless they need to be replaced.

An essential step for lubrication is cleaning the components before lubricating them. This idea is critical because dust and chips build up on lubricated components and make the them hard to move. Simply adding more grease to the com- ponents with built-up grime on them will not yield smooth moving components.

Clean the components in this section with an oil/ grease solvent or mineral spirits. Make sure the surfaces are dry before applying additional lubri- cant.

The fence assembly has many metal-to-metal pivot points. Use a shop rag and mineral spirits to clean away debris and grime from these points. Add a small amount of lubricant, then move the component to distribute the lubricant.

The cutterhead bearing blocks are located on either end of the cutterhead (refer to Cutterhead Breakdown on Pages 54 & 61 for detailed illus- trations). The grease fitting for the front bearing block is accessed through a hole in the front table cover. To access the grease fitting for the back bearing block, you must remove the fence.

Clean debris and grime from the grease fitting and the surrounding area, then use a grease pump to add lubricant.

Remove the rear motor access cover to access the elevation gears for the infeed and outfeed tables (see Figure 54). Use shop rags, a stiff brush, and mineral spirits to clean away the built- up grime from the gears and elevation leadscrew, then brush on a thin coat of lubricant to these parts.
