Gearbox Oil Changes - Shelbourne Reynolds Powermix Pro Express Operator's Manual

7.13 GEARBOX OIL CHANGES

Refer to section 2.11 – Accident prevention when servicing or working on the
machine for safety procedures.
At the heart of the Powermix pro is a planetary gearbox, used to transmit the torque to
the mixing auger. As with any gearbox it is important to change the oil in accordance to
the manufactures recommendations to ensure efficient running and long life.
Fitted to the front of all Twin auger machines, and as an option on single auger
machines is a 2-speed gearbox, the oil in this gearbox should also be changed as
recommended below:
The gearboxes are filled with oil from the factory, however you should check that oil is
present before operating the machine.
 The first oil change should be done after 100 working hours.
 Subsequent oil changes should take place after 1200 hours or at least once a year.
 In order to avoid sludge deposits, change the oil whilst the gear unit is still warm.
 Clean all plugs.
 For an effective oil change, the units should be flushed through with a liquid
detergent recommended by the lubricant supplier.
 Check periodically for oil leaks and the oil level while the unit is idling. If needed top
up the unit with the same type of oil.
Attention: If the quantity of oil used during topping up is greater than 10% of the oil
capacity then again check for leaks.
