Cutter-Mixer-Feeder uses synthetic oil as its lubricant. The
oil reservoir on the right side of the upper frame assembly contains the lubricant for the
gearbox. The oil has a colorant added, which makes the fluid level more visible in the
reservoir. Refer to the
‘Maintenance and Service Information’
section for information on the

Cutter-Mixer-Feeder is equipped with an acrylic oil reservoir. The acrylic
body is a very durable material, which is able to withstand severe impact. However, if a
reservoir is damaged, it must be replaced with an approved reservoir and/or components,
recommended by the manufacturer. If a reservoir sustains any damage, call your
JAY

LOR

Dealer or Distributor immediately.
The acrylic reservoir has decals indicating the maximum and minimum oil level range under
normal operating conditions. At no time is the fluid level to be lower than the minimum
recommended level, as damage to the gearbox may occur. If the fluid level is higher than
the maximum level, the oil may overflow either at the reservoir or underneath the machine at
the gearbox, and cause fluid loss. Check the fluid level in the reservoir daily.
The oil reservoir has a filter/breather located on the top, which must be attached to the
reservoir at all times. This breather is removable, to allow the filling of the reservoir. If the
filter/breather becomes contaminated, remove the breather, and clean it. Follow the
instructions as described in the
‘Maintenance and Service Information’
section.
