GENERAL INFORMATION
Economical and efficient operation of any machine is dependent upon
regular and proper lubrication of all moving parts with a quality lubricant. Neglect
leads to reduced efficiency, wear, breakdown and needless replacement of parts.
All parts provided with grease fittings should be lubricated as indicated. If any
grease fittings are missing, replace them immediately. Clean all fittings thoroughly
before using the grease gun.
IMPORTANT: Avoid excessive greasing. Dirt collects on exposed grease and
greatly increases wear. After greasing, wipe off excessive grease from fittings.
LUBRICATION SYMBOLS
The following symbols are used on the lubrication diagram below. It is
reproduced here with its meaning for your convenience.
Lubricate daily or every 8 hours of operation, whichever comes last, with SAE
Multi-Purpose Lubricant or equivalent SAE Multi-Purpose type grease.
Lubricate weekly or every 40 house of operation, whichever comes last, with
SAE Multi-Purpose Lubricant or equivalent SAE Multi-Purpose type grease.
CAUTION! SHUT OFF ENGINE BEFORE LUBRICATING EQUIPMENT.
The planer planetary is a sealed unit. If there is any sign of oil leaks please
contact your nearest BRADCO dealer before carrying out any repairs, as there can be
other causes for seal leaks. The planetary uses the Gear Oil (Castrol SP 320) for
lubrication of gears and bearings. The unit holds approximately 2 quarts of gear oil.
The planetary gear oil should be drained and replaced after the first 8 months of
use. Thereafter every 12 months or 2500 hours - whichever comes first.
