C. LUBRICATION
The fan shaft bearings should be lubricated every three (3) months. Use Shell Alvania grease NLGI grade 2 or
its equivalent. Generically, this grease would be described as an NLGI grade 2 multipurpose industrial grease
with a lithium thickener and mineral base oil. Lubrication is necessary. The motor bearings...and under normal/
most conditions the basket (tumbler) bearings are permanently lubricated. It is physically possible to re-lubricate
the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so even though this practice may not be necessary. Use Shell
Alvania grease NLGI grade 2 or its equivalent. Generically, this grease would be described as an NLGI grade 2
multipurpose industrial grease with a lithium thickener and mineral base oil. The basket (tumbler) bearings used
in the dryer DO NOT have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearings housing for the addition of
grease fitting which can be obtained elsewhere.
