2.3.2. Checking Oil Level and
Adding/Draining Oil
2.3.2.1 Checking Oil Level
A.
Rotate the hub until one of the oil drain plugs is at
the 12:00 position and the other at the 2:00
position. As indicated in
Figure 13
.
B.
Remove the oil drain plug at the 12:00 position.
C.
Insert an appropriate dipstick into the hub through
the drain plug at 12:00. (Flexxaire does not supply
a dipstick.)
D.
Measure the distance from the top of the hub
down to the oil level. Oil level should be as
indicated in
2.3.2.4.
E.
If oil level is low, add until desired distance is
achieved.
CAUTION! DO NOT OVER FILL HUB.
An air space is required to allow for oil expansion, as
shown in
Figure 13
. Failure to do so will result in seal
failure.
F.
Reinstall the oil drain plug.
G.
Check for leaks.
CAUTION: Low oil level may indicate a leak.
2.3.2.2
Adding Oil To Fan
A.
Rotate the hub until one of the oil drain plugs is at
the 12:00 position and the other at the 2:00
position. As indicated in
Figure 13
.
B.
Remove both of the oil drain plugs.
C.
Fill hub with oil till desired “Air Space” distance is
achieved as per
2.3.2.4.
CAUTION! DO NOT OVER FILL HUB.
An air space is required to allow for oil expansion, as
shown in
Figure 13
. Failure to do so will result in seal
failure.
D.
Reinstall the oil drain plugs.
E.
Check for leaks.
2.3.2.3.
Draining Oil From Fan
A.
Rotate the hub until one of the oil drain plugs is at
the 12:00 position and the other at the 2:00
position. As indicated in
Figure 13
.
B.
Remove both of the oil drain plugs.
C.
Slowly turn fan until oil starts to flow from the first
hole. Capture in suitable container.
D.
When oil flow stops, rotate the hub until it flows
again. Repeat until one hole is at the 6:00 position
and the other at the 4:00 position and all oil has
drained from hub.
