GEARBOX LUBRICATION
The oil reservoirs on the side of the mixer drum contain lubricant for the gearboxes. See
Section
for
lubricant specifications for your Jaylor.
Every Jaylor is equipped with an oil reservoir for each gearbox. The polyethylene body is a very durable
material which is able to withstand severe impact. If a reservoir is damaged it must be replaced with an
approved reservoir or components recommended by the manufacturer. If a reservoir sustains any
damage, call your Jaylor dealer or distributor immediately.
The polyethylene 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. Check the fluid level in the
reservoir daily.
Each 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 filling of the reservoir. If the filter/breather becomes
contaminated, remove the breather and clean it. Follow the instructions described in
Section 27
.
