7 – LUBRICATION

DRUM SEAL HOUSINGS

Drum seals are provided on each end of the drum where the mixing shaft passes through to the bearings. It is important to pump grease into the housings through use to retain seal efficiency. Use enough grease to flush out old grease and carry away any grit. Use lithium based grade 2 multi-purpose grease. SEE FIGURE 3

MIXING SHAFT BEARINGS

The mixing shaft bearings are permanently factory sealed and lubricated, and should not require further service.

WHEEL BEARINGS

Wheel bearings should be packed once a year. Thoroughly clean old lubricant from the bearings, hub and spindles before repacking. Pack bearings only one-half to two-thirds full with grease to prevent overheating. Use no. 2 wheel bearing grease.
