Procedure for changing the oil in the planetary gearbox:
1.
First, run unit to warm oil in gear boxes
2.
To drain the planetary gearbox oil, place a bucket under the planetary gearbox to catch the
used oil, detach the
bottom
hose (the other end of this hose goes to the bottom of gear oil
supply reservoir) from the bottom of the gearbox. Let the oil from the gearbox and the
bottom
hose drain into the bucket.
3.
Take the plug out of the end of the gearbox’s
top
hose. This is the other hose that hangs down
from the side of the planetary gearbox. Place an air hose to the end of the
top
hose. Using
compressed air (no more than 20 psi.) gently force the oil out the bottom of the gearbox.
Note:
Excessive air pressure could damage the top output seal of the gearbox.
4.
To fill the gearbox, re-attach the
bottom
hose to the bottom of the gearbox.
5.
Add (warm) oil through the reservoir fill cap, located on the reservoir, until oil comes out of
the end of the
top
hose.
6.
Re-place plug in
top
hose and (if needed) add oil until oil reaches fill line on sight glass and
check periodically to ensure that the level is correct.
Recommended oil for this gearbox is
PENNZOIL MULTI-PURPOSE GEARLUBE 4140,
GRADE SAE-85W-140 with “EP” (E
xtreme
P
ressure)
additive
(for other oil choices see the
additional specification listed below)
If you have opted for the “
Extended Warranty
”, you will be provided with oil sampling kits. You
should use these kits when pulling oil samples on your equipment. It is crucial that oil samples be
pulled in accordance to the provided schedule.
YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID IF
ONE
OIL SAMPLING TEST IS MISSED.
Once your oil sample is sent in and analyzed, the information will then be sent back to you. This
information will provide you with valuable information on the condition and maintenance of your
hydraulic system. It is your (the customer’s) responsibility to maintain the oil cleanliness to the
specifications provided.
OIL SAMPLING SHOULD BE DONE WITH EVERY OIL FILTER
CHANGE, INCLUDING THE FIRST 50 HOURS
.
After you receive your fluid analysis report, you should check it to ensure that it meets or exceeds
the specifications stated. For hydraulic oil the “cleanliness code” specifications are as follow: Your
hydraulic oil should be in the 18/16/13 range. Any sampling that is lower than this is good; any
sampling that is higher is an indication that your oil is not clean and thus will reduce the life
expectancy of your system. You must
immediately
change your hydraulic filters and oil. Then run
the unit for 50 hours and take another sample.
ISO CODE MEANING
18/16/13 = # of particles
Particles > 2 microns Particles > 15microns
Particles > 5 microns
