The gearing works in oil bath. Oil condition should be checked once a month (oil
plugs see Fig. 7).
Minimum classification of gear oil should be GL-4, GL-5 to API or 90 or 80W-90 to
SAE.
Oil replacement in a new machine is to be made after the first
5 hours
of operation
and then after
100 working hours
or after the end of the season. This will ensure that
the gears will not suffer excessive wear. The exchange interval can be extended
up to
130 hours
(the running-in time of 5 hours must be observed) in oils with higher
classifications (API GL-5, SAE 80W-90).
Czech oils fully meeting the requirements are MOGUL TRANS 90 or MOGUL
TRANS 80W-90.
Oil replacement should be made when the box is warm, oil can be drained easily.
1. Clean around the oil plugs. Underlay the machine and secure it so that a space is
created under the machine for a vessel to collect oil.
2. Loosen the pour-in plug on the rear wall of the box and the drain plug in the bottom
of the gearbox (spanner No. 19).
3. After the oil has been drained, screw back the drain plug in the bottom of the box.
Fill the gearbox with the new oil (it is adviced to use a funnel with flexible tubing).
Oil level should reach to the lower edge of the hole. Then screw the pour-in plug
back. If the seals under the plugs are damaged, replace them with new ones.
