All Turner mounted units come packaged pre-lubricated with Shell Gadus S2 V220 2.
PLEASE NOTE: Relubricating a bearing may cause the operating temperature to increase, but this will be temporary and will return to normal after a short period of time.
Before relubrication:
- Clean grease fitting and surrounding area.
- Clean nozzle of greasing equipment.
- Ensure grease compatibility. Shell Gadus - a lithium hydroxystearate soap-based grease - is generally compatible with other lithium soap-based greases, but compatibility is not ensured with other grease bases. Consult your lubrication customer service representative if you have further questions..
- Results are best when bearing is in rotation.
See Tables A and B below for relubrication intervals and amounts.
