Directions for Using TIMESAVER

Mix TIMESAVER with oil as you use it and only the amount needed for the particular job to be done.  Keep well mixed.

SPLIT BEARINGS – Mix TIMESAVER COMPOUND with light or medium oil to the consistency of a thin paste and apply to the bearing halves.  Add a little oil to the surfaces; also apply oil to the shaft.  Bolt up cap – not too tightly, just so shaft can be easily turned by hand; then proceed to lap.  At intervals add sufficient oil to the surfaces to prevent them from becoming dry.  Take up on bearings gradually as high spots are removed, applying fresh compound when necessary.  When a full bearing surface has been obtained, tighten cap to final fit, add a few drops of oil and continue to lap for a short time without adding fresh compound.  This operation produces a final finish and proper running oil clearance, which should not be changed or varied after bearing has been flushed out with diesel oil or Stoddard Solvent for final assembly.  TIMESAVER lapped bearings should not feel as tight as scraped or machined bearings because no allowance is necessary for the wearing-down of high spots.  Lapped bearings are the same as broken-in bearings.

SLEEVE BEARINGS – Fit bearings snugly to shaft.  Apply TIMESAVER mixed with oil to bearing and shaft.  Insert shaft and lap with a twisting motion, adding oil frequently until proper clearance is obtained.  Flush out with diesel or Stoddard Solvent.

HOT BEARINGS – Mix a small amount of Timesaver with oil.  The mixture must be very thin.  Apply freely to bearings and shaft through oil holes.  Rotate the shaft.  Add the thin mixture until bearing is free.  The flush out with diesel or Stoddard Solvent and lubricate as in normal practice.

GEARS – Mix TIMESAVER COMPOUND with oil proportions of about one-part TIMESAVER to three or four parts of oil (by volume).  The use of heavy oil is advisable as this procedure prevents the mixture from being thrown from the gears and wasted.  Apply mixture sparingly either by pouring or with a paint brush.  When gears run quietly, flush out with diesel oil of Stoddard Solvent.

TIMESAVER COMPOUND will not imbed into any metal surface and will not continue to cut.
