Mixed types of oil may cause may cause severe damage!
When refilling or replacing oil in a gearbox it is important to first check which type of oil is
recommended to use in the gearbox. See
Type of oil - currently used on page 123

used is other than the one in the list of currently used types of oil, it is recommended to replace
the oil.

contamination with other types of oil in the gearboxes is not accepted! Equipment used in
handling of Kyodo Yushi (as well as Shell Tivela S 150) must be carefully cleaned before use!
In case of changing the type of oil, the gearbox therefor must be thoroughly rinsed! See

NOTE!
When filling gearbox oil, do not mix different types of oil as this may cause severe damage
to the gearbox! Always use the oil recommended by the manufacturer!
