NOTE:
Do not mix oils from different manufacturers. If a change to another type or brand of oil is made, the existing lubricant should be
drained and the gearcase flushed with a small quantity of the new lubricant before refilling with the new lubricant. This is necessary to
avoid possible incompatibility problems between the two lubricants. The list below gives approved alternative lubricants. This is not an
exclusive list. Equivalent lubricants from other manufacturers may be used.
All reducers are factory filled according to the mounting position indicated on the order.
If the mounting position is changed from
the ordered mounting the position, the oil level must be changed.
The oil volumes shown in the mounting position charts are
approximate. The correct oil level is determined by the oil level hole in the housing except for size 38 reducers. If the reducer is ordered
with the standard mineral oil and the oil is later changed to synthetic oil, it is recommended the shaft seals be changed to Viton (FKM)
material.
ILH is furnished with oil level, drain, and fill plugs except for the size 38, which only has a fill plug. Before starting operation, the breather
must be located in the correct location.
Continued operation in cold ambient conditions requires special modifications. Contact DODGE Gearing Application Engineering,
Greenville, SC for application assistance (864-284-5700).
The density of the standard factory fill oil is 0.93 lbs/pint (1.98 lbs/liter).
The list below shows lubricants that are available as factory fill in QUANTIS reducers. The standard factory fill lubricant is Mobilgear 600
XP 220, which is a high performance mineral oil lubricant with special additives for use in industrial gear products.

* Ambient temperatures listed are for lubricant only and do not indicate a particular gear unit’s suitability to run in that ambient.
** Previous factory fill oil was Mobilgear 630 - Mobilgear 600 XP 220 and Mobilgear 630 are compatible with each other and do not
require a flush.
Recommendations will be made based on specific application details.
LONG TERM STORAGE:
NOTE: Unless an extended warranty has been negotiated prior
to sale, time in storage is considered time in service for warranty
purposes.
If the drive is not installed immediately, it should be stored in a
clean, dry, protected area. During periods of long term storage
(six months or longer) special procedures must be followed. The
unit should be filled to the highest oil level hole with an approved
lubricant blended with 2%, by volume, of “Daubert Chemical Co.
Nox-Rust VCI-105” oil. Apply a thick coating of rust preventative
on all unpainted surfaces including threads, bores, keyways,
and shafts. Apply a thick coating of chassis-type grease to all
exposed shaft seals. If the unit is to be stored outdoors or in a
damp, unheated area indoors, cover the entire exterior with a
rust preventative. Seal the unit in a moisture proof container or
wrapping with a desiccant inside. Shade the enclosure from direct
sunlight. Rotate the input shaft at least 60 revolutions once a month
to redistribute the lubricant and prevent brinnelling of bearings and
drying of seals.
Upon removal from storage, remove all protective coatings applied
for protection during storage. Check all hardware for proper
tightness. Drain and refill the gear reducer with a recommended
lubricant. If the gear reducer has been stored for more than three
years or in an area with high ambient temperatures, replace the
oil seals.
