Proper Lubrication
Proper lubrication procedures are key to a good all-around maintenance pro-
gram. If the lubricant is not doing its job or if the lubricant level is ignored, all
the maintenance procedures in the world are not going to keep the transmis-
sion running or assure long transmission life.
Eaton® Fuller® Transmissions are designed so the internal parts operate in
an oil bath circulated by the motion of the gears and shafts.
Thus, all parts are amply lubricated if these procedures are closely followed:
1.
Maintain lubricant level and inspect regularly.
2.
Follow maintenance interval chart.
3.
Use the correct grade and type of lubricant.
4.
Buy lubricant from an approved dealer.
Mixing of Oil Types
Never mix engine oils & gear oils in the same transmission.
Engine oils and gear oils may not be compatible; mixing can cause breakdown
of the lubricant and affect component performance. When switching between
types of lubricants, all areas of each affected component must be thoroughly
flushed.
Note:
For a list of Eaton approved synthetic lubricants, see TCMT-0021 or call
1-800-826-HELP (4357).
Note:
Additives and friction modifiers must not be introduced.
