Lubrication - IBEX TS51C Assembly Manual

ASSEMBLY GUIDE

LUBRICATION

Verify that there is oil in the 90 degree gearbox and drum unit gear chamber, 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.
The 90 degree gearbox is filled to the bottom of the fill hole/fill level hole on the side.
The gearbox over the drums should contain about 3 quarts of oil. The oil is not easily visible, so
use a straw or another type of clean stick to check the level when the drum unit is on level
ground. 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.
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.
