Lubrication

The Model G1033 features factory-sealed bear- ings. A sealed bearing requires no lubrication during its lifetime. Should a bearing fail, your planer will probably develop a noticeable rumble, which will increase when the machine is put under load. If allowed to get worse, overheating of the journal containing the bad bearing could occur. If the bad bearing is not replaced, it will eventually seize - possibly doing damage to other parts of the machine. Bearings are standard sizes and can be replaced through Grizzly.

Proper lubrication of other components of the Model G1033 are essential for long life and trou- ble-free operation. Below is a list of components that require periodic lubrication. Schedules are based on daily use. Adjust accordingly for your level of use.

Columns/Lead Screws - The four columns should be lubricated weekly with light oil. Unfasten dust covers to gain access. The four lead screws should be lubricated with general purpose grease once a month.

Worm Gear - The worm gear should be inspect- ed monthly and lubricated when needed. Remove the worm gear box to inspect. See parts diagram for location.

Chain - The table height adjustment chain should be inspected monthly and lubricated when need- ed. A good quality bicycle chain lubricant works well for periodic lubrication.

Gear Box - Gear box oil should be drained after the first 20 hours of operation. See Figure 25. Replace with 80W-90W gear oil. Inspect levels periodically and change yearly. Replace gear oil more frequently under heavy use. Fill until oil reaches the top of the filler plug port for correct oil level.

Drive Chain - The drive chain should be inspect- ed and lubricated monthly. Check sprocket, chain and cotter pin during inspection. Use a general purpose grease. Some chains will have master links instead of cotter pins.

Feed Rollers - Daily lubrication of feed rollers is crucial to the operation of your planer. Lubricate before start-up. Each end of each power feed roller has an oiling port located on the top of the head casting. See Figure 26. Apply a light oil, making sure that the lubricant penetrates the bearing.
