LUBRICATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: The GM 170 must be properly lubricated, the transmission and cyclonic oil reservoir
must be filled to the proper oil levels before it can be operated.
IMPORTANT: Catch and dispose of fluid per local waste disposal regulations whenever service is
performed on hydraulic components (valves, cylinders, hoses, etc.) or transmission.
TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL
NOTE: Check the fluid level in the mixer transmission periodically by removing the plug located on the
transmission. Requirements: 1-1/2 U.S. Pints (0.7 liters) of SAE #140 Gear Lube.
Check the transmission occasionally for oil drips and dust accumulation around the seals. Oil drips or
dust accumulation indicate that seals are leaking.
Water is present in the oil if the oil is tan in color and foams excessively. Drain and replace the lubricant
immediately.
NOTE:Fill the transmission gearbox to the bottom of the inspection plug hole - Do not overfill!
OILING
The GM 170 utilizes an automatic oiling system to lubricate the #60 main drive chain and the double #50
transmission drive chain. Any time that the discharge auger is raised, a specified amount of oil is sent to
the brushes on each of the chains. The oiler is adjustable to set the amount that is being discharged. The
rotating chain on the discharge auger should be lubricated every 5 hours using a good grade of lubricant.
Spray the entire chain on the center of the rollers.
CYCLONIC
OIL RESERVOIR
Check the cyclonic oil reservoir daily. Oil level should be between Max/Min level marks. Fill as needed
using Exxon Nuto H46 or Equivalent.
