MAINTENANCE:
Introduction
Maintenance can be routine or unscheduled.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Operators are responsible for routine maintenance, to be performed as indicated below.
•
After a short running time (approx. 100 hours running in), change the oil in the gear unit and wash the inside with cleaning
fluid.
•
Check that there are no metal parts of unusual sizes in the magnetic plug of the gear unit.
•
Change the oil in the gear unit while it is hot to ensure it drains completely.
•
Subsequent oil changes should be done every 2000 - 2500 hours running time for mineral oils and every 8000 - 10,000 hours
for synthetic oils, and in both cases, in accordance with the actual state of the gear unit and as indicated by the lubricant
manufacturer.
•
Do not mix different types of oil.
•
Check oil levels (about once a month) and top up as required.
•
We recommend you keep a chart for each unit to be filled out and updated each time maintenance is performed.
OIL CHANGE
•
Use the diagrams in section "Configurations p. 8" to locate the oil drain plug for the particular gear unit configuration con-
cerned.
•
Unscrew the drain and filler plugs to help the oil drain from the gear unit. Once it is empty, replace the drain plug.
•
Wash the inside of the gear unit with a suitable cleaning fluid recommended by the lubricant manufacturer following the
steps below:
Pour the liquid into the gear unit then replace the fill plugs; run the unit for a few minutes at high speed then empty the cleaning
fluid.
•
See section "LUBRICATION: p. 27" for filling instructions.
UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Dana Incorporated prohibits the gear unit from being opened for anything else other than routine maintenance. Dana Incorpo-
rated declines all liability for any injury to persons or damage to objects resulting from anything else other than routine mainte-
nance. If necessary, contact your nearest Dana Incorporated Service Centre from the list on "SERVICE NETWORK p. 38".
