Oil Change Intervals
An oil change is required every 10000 hours of operation, or every 5 years whichever occurs first.
It may be necessary to change the oil more often if enviromental conditions are severe, such as rapid rise
and fall in temperature of the indexer housing (which is accompanied by sweating of the inside walls with
a resulting formation of sludge).
The magnetic drain plug should be visually inspected at oil change time for
metallic chips that might indicate failure of one of the internal components.
Recommended Oil and Quantity
Lubricating oil should be high quality, well-refined petroleum oils or synthetic lubricants with extreme
pressure additives. They may be subjected to high operating temperatures, so they must have good
resistance to oxidation. ISO 220 grade oils with EP additives such as MOBILGEAR 630 (Exxon-Mobil) or
OMALA 220 (Shell Oil).
