Hey Friendly Folks...

So I just got my HF tumbler, and now have a couple questions. The operating instructions says in several places to put a few drops of oil on the driving shaft bearing. Looking at the diagram, I see the part, which is covered by the idler shaft set. The questions are, where do I put drops of oil? Do I take apart the driving shaft bearing assembly and then do I take apart the tumbler? Or do I just put a couple drops on the outside of the driving shaft bearings?

Thanks in advance...

HAHAHA wow, I can just see you looking at the diagram like I did a few weeks ago..hummmmm..well I put a few drops of oil on the outside of the driving shaft bearings on both ends..i dont think they wanted you to take the thing apart. But thats what I did and no issues after about 20 hrs of operation so far. Good luck PM me if you have more questions.
