| Installation of the Oil Wick If a new wick is to be used, it must first be
moderately saturated with # 20 mineral oil before installing. Moderate saturation of the
oil wick will insure lubrication at the beginning of operation.
The wick is properly positioned in the reservoir by placing even lengths of the wick on
each side of the bearing. A screwdriver may be used to push the wicking firmly against the
bearing. Make certain the wick’s ends are lying on the bottom of the reservoir.
Once the wick is in position, the oil cover may be replaced as well.
NOTE: Use only # 20 NON-DETERGENT MINERAL OIL. |
