Lubrication

NOTICE

Failure to followed reasonable lubrication practices as instructed in this manual for your lathe could lead to premature failure of your lathe and will void the warranty.

Your planer features bearings that are lubricated and sealed at the factory. These bearing do not require any further attention unless they need to be replaced. If a bearing fails, your planer will probably develop a noticeable rumble or vibration, which will increase when the machine is under a load. The bearings are standard sizes and can be replaced through Grizzly (refer to the Parts Breakdowns beginning on Page 49 for bearing identification).

Follow the maintenance schedule on Page 30 and the procedures listed below to properly lubri- cate the other planer components, which are essential for long life and trouble-free operation of your planer.

Feed Roller Bushings

The infeed and outfeed rollers rotate inside bush- ing blocks on both ends of the rollers. Add 2–3 drops of SAE 30W oil to the center hole of the four feed roller tension adjustment bolts on top of the head casting, as shown in Figure 27.

roller bushings.

Columns and Leadscrews

The table rides on the columns and is moved by the rotation of the leadscrews inside the columns. Loosen the dust sleeve (see Figure 28) to access the columns and leadscrews. Apply a thin coat of SAE 30W oil to the outside surface of the columns and brush on a light application of multi-purpose grease to the leadscrew threads. Move the table up and down to distribute the lubricant.

Table Height Worm Gear

Remove the three cap screws that secure the worm gear housing (see Figure 29), then lift the housing and handwheel assembly off the machine. Clean away any debris from the housing and gears, then brush on a moderate amount of multi-purpose grease to the gear teeth.
