When relubrication from the side of the bearing is required, e.g. make sure that the appropriate torque was maintained.
for CARB toroidal roller bearings, the housing must be positioned
so that the grease fitting is on the opposite side of the nut. When a
housing is located at the end of a shaft, grease should be applied at
the end cover side.
5. Position the housing base on the support surface. Fit the attach-
ment bolts, but do not tighten them.
6. Mount the first labyrinth seal on the shaft in the correct position.
8. Mount the second labyrinth ring on the shaft in the correct posi-
tion (if a stepped shaft is used, first mount the distance ring). If the
housing is to be used at the end of a shaft, the second seal is omit-
ted and an end cover inserted in the housing base instead.
10. Lay the shaft with the two bearings and labyrinth rings in the
two housing bases.
