    Maybe a silly question but I ran a newspaper web press that it was very important to lubricate the bearers on. It had felt pads. Any advice on my GTO46. what is the recommended way to look after the bearers?

    Sir look for your operator manual Heidelberg GTO
    the chapter, diagram for points of LUBE.
    They are points Daily, Week, Months, and 6 months LUBE Guide.
    example 6 months the main motor, bearing,etc

    I mean the bearers on the blanket and plate cylinders. I think you mean something different. But maybe I am wrong.

    Just keep both bearers clean of ink and build up and wipe them with an oily cloth to stop the build up

    You don't have to apologize Chock.
    Do you by any chance have the lubrication chart. Mine is missing from my operators manual
