oils and -20°F to 150°F (-29°C to 66°C) for synthetic lubricants.
• The AGMA lubricant number is 5 for mineral oils and 5S for synthetic lubricants.
• The ISO grade is 220 for both mineral oils and synthetic lubricants.
• Do not use gear oils containing extreme pressure (EP) additives.

When mineral oils are used in operation at ambient temperature less than 20°F (-7°C)
lube oil heaters are required. Each unit has provisions for an internal oil reservoir
heater. Heaters and synthetic oil are extra cost accessories and can be ordered with
new units or may be ordered and installed in existing units.
• The vertical and horizontal shafts are equipped with grease lubricated dual seals.
Relubrication is not required.

old oil before filling the gear with
new oil.

components might be incompatible
with the various base stocks
used to make synthetic
lubricants. Contact your local BAC
Representative prior to using any
