NOTE:
•The roller bodies will be damaged unless the mounting forces engaged into inner ring.
•The hardened bearing rings are sensitive to impact stress; never hit the rings with the hammer. Use a brass arbor or a striking bushing (piping piece) made from a soft material. The inner diameter of the striking bushing should be only slightly larger than the diameter of the bearing base.
•The bearing is then pushed onto the shaft using light blows. The force of pressure must be evenly distributed on the circumference of the bearing ring.
Lubricating the Main Bearings
An important requirement for high operational safety and long service life of the arrangement of bearings is the correct lubricant supply. Every machine is greased and checked in test runs before delivery.
NOTE: Unsuitable lubricant, lubricant deficiency, excessive lubricant, or impurities in the lubricant lead to overheating and extreme wear of the bearings.
Lubrication Intervals
Shift Operation | Replace Lubricant | Check |

Check lubricant quality
You can judge whether the lubricant needs to be replaced by checking for the following features:
•Change in consistency
•Discoloration
•Degree of soiling
