Oil Change Instructions
Your new MiniMax Terminator uses a gearbox that contains oil rather than grease. This allows you to easily change the lubricant in
your machine. Grease will weaken and become soiled over time. With oil like in your car, you can easily add new clean lubricant
for a long product life.
It is normal to hear some mechanical or gear noise. This can increase or decrease depending upon the type of bonnets and carpet
you are cleaning.
We recommend that after the first 50 hours of use that you change the oil in your new MiniMax to ensure a long gearbox life. After
the initial change we recommend the next change at about 300/500 hours.
When performing this maintenance we only recommend the use of
Mobil SHC 634 Supreme Performance Synthetic Gear
oil
. Not performing the maintenance or use of any other oil will void your warranty! Included with your MiniMax is a quart of the
Mobil SHC 634 and a reusable 2 ounce syringe. Dispose of used gear oil according to local and your states regulations.
Please see video for oil change, located at www.bonnetpro.com on the MiniMax page.
To change oil, remove the left
bumper wheel as seen from standing behind the machine. Remove the front breather plug and the left plug and turn machine on
its left side to drain used oil into your container for proper disposal. Leave machine on its side for 10 minutes. After oil is drained
you should now have approximately 14 ounces of used oil. Apply two layers of Teflon tape to the front breather plug and reinstall
being carful no to strip the threads. Now empty half of your quart of Mobil SHC 634 into a bowl. Take your included syringe and
carefully fill it. Place the tip of the syringe into the drain hole and deposit the entire contents of the syringe into the gearbox.
You
will need to do this 7 times to introduce the needed 14 ounces
of new Mobil SHC 634 into your machine. Now clean the
threads with a Q tip, apply two layers of Teflon tape to your plug and reinstall into the gearbox. Stand the machine onto its upright
position and reinstall the bumper wheel taking care not to over tighten allowing the wheel to be held firmly while having freedom
to easily rotate.
