Lubrication
The main gear and brush drive reducers are sealed for life and requires no lubrication. The main
drive secondary reducer is supplied with the recommended lubricant, and the blind plug is left in
place for shipping purposes. Before startup, be sure to replace the blind plug with the breather
plug. Check for the oil level on the gear box.
CAUTION: Do not operate the gear boxes without the breather plug. The internal
pressure will build up and damage the seal, which will cause leakage after a period of time
in operation.
Strict adherence to the following Lubricant Specifications and Lubrication Schedule is essential to
obtaining the maximum achievable life from a bearing. The life expectancy of a bearing differs,
based upon a number of factors, such as the load placed on the bearing and its speed of rotation,
but it is most affected by the type of lubricant used. Use lubricant shown in § 4.2.10 below.
