Topic: Fan motor XL G710 greasing (28 lines)
1) From: miKe mcKoffee
I mentioned previously I did some research & ordered this high temp grease.
One of the suggested uses was electric motors.http://www.lubricationproducts.com/g710.htmArrived today. Pulled the Rosto screecher apart, lubed, put 'er back
together and the moment of truth. Ran five 15min roast cycles back to back
no problem. (11min with heat, 4 min cool down then do it again. Cycle three
was a live roast, the others empty.)
Don't know how long it'll survive but already more than doubled how well the
high temp synthetic brake grease worked.
BTW, I bought a *tube*. Turns out to be a full size grease gun 14.5oz tube!
I'd estimate enough to lube a few thousand or more electric fan bearings.
Anybody want some I'll send you an oz for $3 inc. packing and shipping US,
$4 International. (will need to hit a crafts place for some kind of small
screw top jar to put it in.) Email me off list.
