4.0 Greasing Schedule – 2, for Motors (Based on Lubrication Interval)
The Greasing schedule 2 needs to be followed when the motors is put to operation and the lubrication has
to be done as per the lubrication interval cycle .
Attention:
• For re-greasing use only the grease specified on the re-greasing nameplate . (Don’t mix with different
grade or make)
• Grease nipples must be clean to avoid dirt penetrating the bearings during re-greasing
• Grease relief openings must be open and have free access so that used grease can escape unhindered
• It is preferable to re-grease the bearings during operation for better grease distribution.
• Make sure that this work is done by trained personnel only and live and moving parts are safely covered.
• If this is impossible (i.e. danger from rotating parts) re-grease when stationary. In this case use only half
of the grease amount specified on the re-greasing nameplate. Restart the equipment for at least one
minute of operation. Shut down again and re-grease with the remaining half of the grease amount
specified. Restart for operation
