| Use Caution with Grease Lines |
|
| Use caution with grease lines that run out of the machine frame in order to provide easy lubrication access points. Because these extensions often carry more than a few shots of grease, the grease entering the bearing will not be robust and fresh. Vibration, time and temperature changes can lead to leaching of critical oil components from the grease thickener. The best approach is to provide access to the lube point as close to the bearing as possible. This enables the bearing to be inspected and ensures that fresh grease enters the lube cavity.

| Reliability needs to have shared responsibility. It must be fixed in the DNA of the machine as well as in the minds of operators and maintainers. It's like a reliability chain; every link in the chain must be equally strong in order for the chain's full length to bear the load. |

| Better Than a Bull's-eye!
Most bull’s-eye level gauges confirm oil volume but don’t identify root causes and symptoms of machine failure. Luneta’s Condition Monitoring Pod™ allows early detection of abnormal machine and lubricant health conditions.

| Machines run better and with fewer failures if their lubricants are cleaner and have their additives intact. One of the best ways to guarantee that machines are receiving cleaner, better oil is to ensure that all lubricants are handled properly from the time they are delivered to the plant. |
