NOTE: After 30 hours of operation, pump in extra grease to purge out any moisture. Visually inspecting the purged
grease at this time will give 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 driveshaft 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.
