Installation Procedure

1. Clean the shaft and housing bore thoroughly to remove any debris or existing lubricant. 2. Apply a thin, even layer of appropriate bearing lubricant to the shaft and the inner ring of the bearing. 3. Carefully press or install the bearing onto the shaft, ensuring it is seated squarely and without tilting. Avoid applying excessive force directly to the outer ring.
