LINCOLN WAYSIDE LUBRICATOR
85562, 85563, 85564, 85565

Installation

This automatic lubrication system consists of one or two
distribution bars per rail installed on the "gage" side of the
track, wheel sensor, lubricant reservoir and electric pump oper-
ated by solar/battery power or an AC to DC power converter.
This high pressure system precisely meters the grease onto
the rail for consistent, reliable lubrication. The rubber-tipped
wiper bar places the grease high on the rail gage face for
greater contact with the wheel À ange. This low pro¿ le bar de-
sign extends bar life and reduces bar damage by train wheels
and rail maintenance equipment.
The result is clean and evenly distributed grease that is carried
by the passing wheel À ange to lubricate the rails.
Site Location
The lubricator is ideally located on a length of tangent track
near an easily accessible level site. Place the reservoir as-
sembly with the connection side facing the track. If the unit is
solar powered, be sure to ¿ nd a site that is exposed to direct
sunlight for much of the day.
Wiper Bar Installation on US Rail Sizes Greater
Than 115#/yd
.
Use Standard Mounting Hardware Kit, 273269 (Smaller rails
must use the optional mounting kit 274365.)
1. In most systems two wiper bars will be installed on the
gage face of the rail, one on each rail. Mark locations for
the base brackets (item #127) between rail ties 38" apart.
Two base brackets are required for each wiper bar. (See
Illustration 11)
Figure 1. Clamps mounted 38" apart on the rail.
2. Dig out the ballast below each bracket location, at least 4"
deep and 6" wide on both sides of the rail.

3. Mount the two brackets, in the chosen locations as shown
in ¿ gure 1. Secure the bracket using the hook bolts (item
#123) by hooking the bolt on the opposite side of the rail.
Attach with nuts and washers (items # 128, 129, & 130)
supplied as part of the mounting hardware kit. See ¿ gures
2 & 3.

4. Tighten one hook bolt nut (item #128), leaving the other
hook bolt loose for later adjustment but tight enough to hold
the base bracket on the rail. A torque of 75-80 ft-lbs should
be applied to each hook bolt nut (item #128) at ¿ nal tighten-
ing.
