mounting.
• The fitting of seals and gears must be carried out on clean workbenches.
• Use a protective sleeve for the sealing lip during mounting, when sliding

may result in future leakage.

Lubricate the seal with grease just before fitting. (Not too
early - there is a risk of dirt and foreign particles adhering
to the seal.)

Fill 2/3 of the space between the dust tongue and sealing
lip with grease. The rubber coated external diameter must
also be greased, unless otherwise specified.
Mount the seal correctly with a mounting tool.4
Never hammer directly on the seal as this may result in
leakage.
Make sure no grease left on the robot surface.
