During commissioning of the MechFiber380, it is recommended that
the driveline oil bath is filled to a maximum of 30 litres of oil only.
To check the oil level where an oil window is not available, a measurement of 205 mm can
be taken by dipping a rod, approximately 760 mm long, down the front, marking 205 mm on
the piece (since 205 mm is the desired height to keep the oil level filled to for the maximum
30 litres). Where a sight glass is available, the level of oil can be seen through the sight
glass. The image below shows the maximum (30 litres) and minimum (20 litres). Exceeding
the limit of 30 litres may cause oil leakage when in operation.
If the oil level is low, top it up with chainbar oil (the properties of which allow it to cling to the
chains longer). Use Total/Finol Chainac MP, if available, or a suitable equivalent, with a
volumetric mass of 879 kg/m3 at 15° C and a viscosity rating of 150 mm2/s at 40° C.
Do not use grease on the chains, as it is unsuitable for the application and will not allow for
the lubrication of the vital internal parts of the chain.
