RECOMMENDED PLANETARY GEAR OIL
Field experience, supported by engineering endurance tests, indicates the use of the proper gear oil and a
program of regular preventive maintenance will help provide extended gear train life and reliable winch brake
performance. For this reason, BRADEN has published the following specifications to assist in determining which
lubricant is best suited to your application.
Failure to properly warm up the capstan drive, particularly under low ambient temperature conditions,
may result in temporary brake slippage due to high back pressures attempting to release the brake,
which could result in property damage, severe personal injury or death.
Failure to use the proper type and viscosity of planetary gear oil may contribute to intermittent brake
clutch slippage which could result in property damage, severe personal injury or death. Some gear
lubricants contain large amounts of EP (extreme pressure) and anti-friction additives which may con-
tribute to brake clutch slippage or damage to brake friction discs or seals. Oil
viscosity with regard to ambient temperature is also critical to reliable brake clutch operation. Our
tests indicate that excessively heavy or thick gear oil may contribute to intermittent brake clutch slip-
page. Make certain that the gear oil viscosity used in your winch is correct for your prevailing
ambient temperature.

Planetary hoists are factory filled with Mobilgear 600 XP 150, or equivalent. Consult your oil supplier for other equivalent
oils if required.
Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended that the gear oil be changed after the first one hundred (100) hours
or thirty (30) days of machine operation, then every one thousand (1,000) hours or twelve (12) months, whichever
occurs first. The gear oil should also be changed whenever the ambient temperature changes dignificantly and an
oil from a different temperature range would be more appropriate.
