The grease must have the following
characteristics:
● NLGI Grade 2
● Lithium-based
● Water-insoluble
● Anti-rusting
● Anti-oxidizing
● Mechanically stable
The grease must have adequate base oil viscosity
with one of the following ratings:
● ISO VG 150 (135 – 165 cSt at 40°C or
709 – 871 SUS at 100°F)
● ISO VG 220 (198 – 242 cSt at 40°C or
1047 – 1283 SUS at 100°F)
● An SAE 40 rating is also acceptable as long as
the cSt or SUS values are within the specified
ranges.
● Pump the grease gun slowly, permitting only
2 strokes.
NOTE: The UW35 3-speed bearings are
permanently greased bearings and do not require
lubrication.
2. Use the following procedures to determine if V-
belts require replacement or adjustment. Call a
qualified service technician in either case.
a. Check V-belts for uneven wear and frayed
edges.
b. After disconnecting power to the washer-
extractor and removing all panels necessary
for access to the drive belt, use one of the
following methods to verify that V-belts are
properly tensioned.
● Tension Gauge. Increase spring tension to
change belt span length. The UW 3-speed
belt tension should be set according to the
data listed in the table below.
Table 10
● Deflection. See Figure 19. Increase spring
tension to change belt span length. Belt
tension measurements should be taken as
close to the center of the belt span as
possible. For every inch of span length, the
belt should deflect 1/64 inch (0.40 mm).
Thus, a belt with span length of 50 inches
should deflect 50/64 inch (19.84 mm). An
initial (run-in) force should be used to set
the belt tension. An operating (normal)
force should be used after the washer-
extractor has been operated for a few
hours. See the table below.
