Grizzly G0550/G0551 instruction manual Gearbox fill point

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 needed. 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 23 & 24. Replace with 80W-90 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 the sprocket, the chain and the cotter pin during inspection. Use a general purpose grease. Some chains will have master links instead of cotter pins.

Feed Rollers—The infeed/outfeed pressure setscrews double as lubrication ports for the rollers. See Figure 25. Add 1-2 drops of light machine oil to all ports before each use. Daily lubrication of the feed rollers is crucial to the oper- ation of your planer. Lubricate before start-up. Apply a light oil, making sure that the lubricant penetrates the bearing.
