9. Lubrication
The internal gearset of the
D5-Evo
is lubricated by means of an oil bath
In order to prevent possible leakage during shipping, the unit is shipped with no oil
inside the gearbox. A bottle containing 80ml of a special synthetic oil is included with
the product, and this
must
be introduced
before
operating the product. (Product
code: OIL80ML0X0/H)
FIGURE 7 OPERATOR LUBRICATION
Do not attempt to run the operator
without first filling the gearbox with
page 15
It is more convenient to introduce oil before bolting the unit down, as shown in
Figure 7.
The
D5-Evo
does not require routine oil changes. However in the event of the
unit losing oil due to stripping down or mechanical damage, the correct
replacement oil is Castrol SAF X0 75W-90 synthetic final drive lubricant.
If the gearbox is bolted down in the horizontal position during filling, the correct
level is reached when the oil level is in the flat section of the dipstick.
Emptying the 80ml bottle of oil provided will give sufficient oil.
