D. Blade Shaft Bearings
The blade shaft bearings are lubricated and should not require daily lubrication
under normal conditions. However, to assure long life the bearings do need to be
lubricated periodically. The time interval between greasing is dependent on the running
speed and operating conditions. The following chart covers most situations and can be
used as a guide.
