ENGINE OIL
The long life and successful operation of any piece of machinery is dependent on frequent and
thorough lubrication. Before using the trowel, always check your engine for oil. Use proper
engine oil as recommended in the engine manufacturer's manual. Fill crankcase to levels as
recommended.
SPIDER PLATE
There is 1 grease fitting for each arm on the spider plates, each greased fitting must be
greased daily. Ex. If there are 4 arms on the spider plate, then there are 4 grease fittings.
SPIDER PLATES MUST BE GREASED EVERY TIME MACHINE IS USED.
GEARBOX
Check the oil level sight plugs on both gearboxes daily to ensure the oil is half way on the site
glass. For Titan gearboxes, check that the oil level in the level indicator is in line with the seam
on the gearbox. Top up with Agma 8 MOBIL SHC Gear Synthetic ISO 680 oil only.
TO CHANGE GEARBOX OIL
Place a pan beneath the drain plug to catch the oil. Remove the drain plug and the filler plug
from the gearbox. After the oil has drained completely, replace the drain plug and tighten. Fill
the gearbox through the filler plug with Agma 8 MOBIL SHC Gear Synthetic ISO 680 oil.
Replace the filler plug and tighten.
GREASE FITTINGS
There are 6 bearings in total. Grease all bearings and U-joints to ensure adequate supply of
lubricant. They are located above the gearboxes (2 per gearbox) and 2 located in the drive
system. The U-joints are located in the drive system as well.
HYDRULIC OIL
To change hydraulic fluid, drain the tank by removing the drain plug on the bottom of the tank.
Then refill into the cap on the top of the tank.
