hos orbot mainteance - mark63 - 10-02-2016
I just took the bearing off the bot and cleaned it as they recommend, I was wondering if I should put and lubrication on it like white lithium grease? also r there any other mainteance suggestions? Also the best place to but parts for it Thanks!

Greasing the outside of the bearing won't do a whole lot since it is sealed but it may help to prolong the life by keep a little moisture or debris from getting thru. We sell Orbot parts and find that as a matter of maintenance the Counterweight bearing/retainer takes the brunt of the abuse in your orbital pattern so it may simply need to be replaced from time to time. A small price to pay for the amount of profit that machine can crank out! Call us here at ES for more info if you need parts.
