3. Usage Instructions

Greasing Procedure

Follow these steps for proper lubrication of centrifugal blower and exhauster bearings:

1. Ensure the machine is fully stopped before beginning any lubrication procedure. Remove the bearing cover and any plugs.
2. Using a clean rag, remove all old grease from the front of the bearing, housing, and cover. Note: It is only necessary to remove old grease from this port, not from inside the bearing housing itself.
3. Apply a small amount of AEON CF Grease directly to the bearing. Carefully wipe away any excess grease from the port, housing, and bearing cover.
4. Replace the plug and bearing cover securely.
5. Operating conditions can vary significantly. For specific recommended usages and detailed instructions, always refer to your equipment's official Operations & Maintenance Manual.

4. Maintenance

Correct lubrication is of prime importance in maintaining long bearing life for your centrifugal blowers and exhausters. Adhere to the following lubrication change intervals based on your operating conditions:

Regular inspection of bearing conditions and adherence to these intervals will help prevent premature wear and extend the operational life of your equipment.

8. Troubleshooting

This section provides general guidance for common issues related to lubrication. For specific equipment-related problems, always consult your machine's official Operations & Maintenance Manual or contact a qualified technician.

• Inadequate Lubrication: Ensure the correct amount of grease is applied according to the greasing procedure. Verify that the lubrication intervals are appropriate for your operating conditions (Standard, Severe, or Extreme).
• Grease Contamination: Always use clean tools and rags during the greasing process. Ensure bearing covers and plugs are properly sealed after lubrication to prevent ingress of contaminants.
• Grease Incompatibility: As stated in the safety information, avoid mixing different types of grease. If a different grease was previously used, ensure thorough cleaning or consult with Gardner Denver Nash Service Department before applying AEON CF Grease.
• Excessive Grease: Applying too much grease can lead to overheating and seal damage. Wipe away any excess grease from the bearing port, housing, and cover after application.
