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. Both 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 form becoming dry. Take up on bearings gradually as high spots are removed, applying fresh compound when necessary.

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. Then flush out with diesel or Stoddard Solvent.

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 or Stoddard Solvent.

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