Lubrication - IBEX TS51C Assembly Manual

ASSEMBLY GUIDE

LUBRICATION

The correct oil for both the 90 degree gearbox and the drum unit reservoir is a gear oil near 90
weight (80W90 is commonly found in stores) that is rated for EP, or extreme pressure.
The 90 degree gearbox is filled to the bottom of the fill hole/fill level hole on the side.
The gearbox over the drums contains about 3 liters of oil. The oil is not easily visible, so use a
straw or the like to check the level. About 1-3/4 to 2 inches of oil is the correct level.
Do not overfill the gearboxes. Having the gearboxes too full of oil will cause overheating,
foaming and premature failure of the lubricating oil. If you are uncertain how to properly fill
the gearbox with oil, please contact your dealer for advice.
Verify that there is oil in the 2 gearboxes and lubricate all grease points. Some of the grease
points will take more grease than usual the first time they are lubricated due to filling up the
air space between the bushings.
