Gates GC20 Cortex

MAINTENANCE

The Gates GC20 Cortex requires minimal maintenance. However, Gates recommends

the following practices to ensure maximum reliability and service.

LUBRICATE

■

Using a small brush and Molykote “G” grease, apply a light coat to the

inside surface of the die cone whenever it becomes shiny.

Figure 58: When die cone becomes shiny, lubricate it

By greasing the die cone, grease transfers naturally to the fingers of the die sets

you use. Occasionally, the fingers of a die set may require additional grease. See

“Lubricate Die Sets with Molykote “G”, part 7482-3011” on page 52.

CHECK OIL LEVEL

Check the hydraulic oil level in the pump reservoir after each 10 hours of use

(see pump operation manual for instructions).

If the oil is more than 1/2" below the top, add Dextron III ATF or equivalent

until within 1/2" of the top of the reservoir.
