# MAX 90 Degree Gearbox Assembly ## MAX 90 Degree Gearbox Assembly Instructions ### Greasing Guide When assembling the MAX 90 Degree Gearbox we recommend adding grease during assembly and re-applying as needed for the maintenance of your mechanism. For most applications, using [White Lithium Grease](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XY6QKS7?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_P3B2T1TKR60YKSY7R4XA\&peakEvent=4\&dealEvent=1) or [Red Tacky Grease](https://www.amazon.com/Lucas-Oil-10574-Tacky-GREASE/dp/B0049SUK5Y?th=1) will provide sufficient lubrication. When applying the grease of your choice, add a small amount to the gearbox’s gears, ensuring that it gets evenly distributed throughout the system. ### Bottom Stack Subassembly | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1) Install one of the Flanged Bearings in the Bottom Block. | ![](https://2800450911-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F4vnkeyE3Rv32OmveFas2%2Fuploads%2FWRVfo8WgvlNLZDC3Btw6%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=558092ae-0bbe-4125-a5e6-442bb591d654) | | 2) Install the Input Gear into the bearing. | ![](https://2800450911-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F4vnkeyE3Rv32OmveFas2%2Fuploads%2FwUQL9FGmgvYVYazDvAlN%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=49814f28-4585-4828-a798-104a2ecc0255) | | 3) Set the Middle Plate so that the bearing counterbore is facing up.
