5.2 Changing the gearcase oil 

- see fi g 6

1.  Remove the magnetic drain plug and sealing washer (can also remove the    
 

fi ll/level plug for faster drainage). 

2.  Allow the oil to drain into a can for environmental disposal. 

3.  Clean and then refi t drain plug and re-fi ll the gearcase with approximately 1.5  
 

litres oil until the oil reaches the fi ll level level hole.

The relief valve should be 
operated every 3 months to 
clear the valve seat and check 
that the valve is functional. 

(Ear protection is 
recommended)

NOTE

If the XK12 unit cannot be 
completely drained of oil 
without tilting the unit, it will 
be suffi

  cient to drain as much 

as possible (1.3 l/min+ should 
be at least possible).

NOTE

500 hours is the maximum oil 
change interval.

NOTE

Drive systems must be maintained in accordance with the manufacturers 
instructions.

Daily 

•   Check Air Filter blockage indicator and clean or replace fi lter

Weekly 

•   Where the compressor is mounted on a vehicle and located    

 

 

outside, it should be operated for at least 15 minutes each week  

 

 

(twice a week In damp/cool conditions).

Monthly 

•   Check gearbox oil level

 

•   Check function of Relief Valve

 

•   Remove air fi lter and clean inside the casing.
