Cutterhead/Feed And Table Gearbox Oil Levels; Connecting To Power - Grizzly G0603X Owner's Manual

Cutterhead/Feed and
Table Gearbox Oil
Levels
Components and Hardware Needed:
Hex Wrench 4mm .............................................. 1
Hex Wrench 6mm .............................................. 1
Wrench 14mm ................................................... 1
Gear Oil 60W-90W ............................. as needed
Before starting your machine for the first time,
make sure the cutterhead/feed and table gear-
boxes have adequate levels of oil. The proper oil
level is just slightly below the bottom of the fill plug
hole. Both gearboxes use 60W-90W gear oil.
The access panel for the cutterhead/feed gearbox
is on the upper left side of the planer, and the
access panel for the table gearbox is on the lower
right side.
To check the gearbox oil levels:
1.
DISCONNECT THE
POWER!
2. Remove the access panel and set aside.
3. Remove the fill oil plug (see Figure 17 &
18).

4. Take a clean 6mm hex wrench, dip the short
end inside the fill hole, and then remove it.
—If the end of the hex wrench is coated with
oil, the gearbox oil level is okay. Replace
the fill oil plug and continue with the
setup.
—If the end of the hex wrench is not coated
with oil, then you need to add more oil. Fill
until oil reaches the top or slightly under the
filler oil plug port for correct oil level.
Note: Replace gearbox oil after the first 20
hours of operation. This is a normal break-in
procedure.
5. Replace and secure fill oil plug and access
panels.
