- 2). Take the cooler panels off the sides of the swamp cooler and locate the grease fittings on the top of both bearings. The bearings are at both ends of the blower shaft.
- 3). Open the caps on the top of the grease fittings and place three or four drops of 20-weight non-detergent SAE oil in the fittings to oil the bearings. Place the caps back on the grease fittings and put the cooler panels back on the cooler.
