It is however, important to follow these proce- dures to get full performance and longevity out of the unit. LUBRICATION Change planetary gear reduction oil with API-GL-5, 80W or 90W lubricant after the first 50 hours of operation and then every 1000 hours or 12 months, whichever comes first. -
Page 21: Planetary Gearbox
MAINTENANCE PLANETARY GEARBOX Change gear box oil using API-GL-5, 80W or 90W lubricant after the first 50 hours of operation and then every 1000 hours or 12 months, whichever comes first. Check oil level fre- quently to maintain proper lubrication. Oil should be at operating temperature when checking or changing gear box oil. NOTE: Place planetary in a horizontal position and wait 5 minutes before removing drain plug. This will give the oil a chance to drain from gears/bearings and therefore show an accurate oil level. -
