quality metal protectant (see Page 19 for offerings
from Grizzly) to all exposed unpainted surfaces to
prevent corrosion.

Lubrication
Clamping Leaf Slide Shafts
Oil Type .....Grizzly T23963 or ISO 32 Equivalent
Oil Amount ..................................... 1 or 2 Squirts
Lubrication Frequency ................................. Daily
The slide shaft ball oilers (see Figure 25) provide
lubrication to the sliding surfaces between the
shafts and the frame.
Figure 25. Clamping leaf slide shaft ball oiler.
Only lubricate these ball oilers with a pump-type
oil can that has a plastic or rubberized cone tip.
Do not use oil cans with a metal needle or lance
tip, as they can push the ball too far into the oiler,
break the spring seat, and lodge the ball in the oil
galley.
When lubricating the ball oilers, first clean the out-
side surface to remove any dust or grime. Push
the tip of the oil can nozzle against the ball oiler
to create a hydraulic seal, then pump the oil can
once or twice to add oil.
