GENERAL MAINTENANCE
General Lubrication
The example illustration below indicates the general locations of lubrication points - all
points should be greased on a daily basis and prior storage of the machine. New machines
must be greased prior to first use.
Gearbox Lubrication
Check gearbox oil level on new machines prior to first use, top up if required before using
the machine. Refill the gearbox after an initial 50 hours of use and thereafter at annual or
500 hour intervals, whichever occurs earliest.
Gearbox Capacity – 1 ½ US Pints (0.7 Litre) SAE75W90 Fully Synthetic which meets the following
minimum requirements;
Viscosity at 40°C, cSt, 100.0 min.
Viscosity at 100°C, cSt, 17.2 min.
Drainage of the gearbox for changes of oil is via the drain plug
located on the base of the gearbox.
For refilling or for 'topping up' the oil remove both plugs
indicated opposite and fill gearbox via the filler plug to a point
where the oil starts to run from the level plug orifice – replace
plugs and tighten securely.
