Lubrication Points
1 Lubricating the drive shaft bearing.
Recommended Lubrication - Use Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Lubricants
2-4-C w/Teflon, or Lubriplate 630-AA Grease.
IMPORTANT: It is important that you do not use a general-all-purpose grease
for this bearing. The lubricant we recommend is a water resistant grease of the
proper consistency for this application. If you use a substitute grease, be sure
that it is water resistant and of the same consistency.
Frequency of lubrication - We recommend lubricating the drive shaft bearing after
each day’s use and after every 10 hours of operation. After every 30 hours of
operation, pump in extra grease to purge out any moisture.
Lubricating Procedure - Pull vent hose (a) off the grease fitting. Pump in grease (b)
through the grease fitting (using the grease gun provided) until excess grease starts
to exit the vent hose(c).
Reconnect the vent hose (a) onto the grease fitting after greasing.
After 30 hours of operation, pump in extra grease to purge out any moisture. Visually
inspecting the purged grease at this time will give you an indication of conditions
inside the bearing housing. A gradual increase in moisture content, indicates seal
wear. If the grease begins to turn dark, dirty gray, the drive shaft bearing and seals
should be inspected and replaced if necessary. Some discoloration of the grease is
normal during the break-in period on a new set of seals.
