Lubrication intervals for motors with grease nipples are shown on the information plate on the motor.
The lubrication intervals are based upon 80o C bearing temperature. The values should be halved for
every 15o C increase in the bearing temperature.
Note! Motors with grease nipples should be lubricated before operating the first time!
