Change lubricant
NOTICE
Change from standard lubricant CLP or CLP HC to food grade lubricant CLP ... USDA H1.
The drain holes do not always allow complete draining of the gearbox. A residual amount of
the lubricant may remain in the gearbox.
▶
Carefully flush the gearbox with the food grade lubricant before changing the lubricant.
NOTICE
▶
The gearbox should be lukewarm in order that the oil flows well but there is no risk of
scalding.
How to change the lubricant:
1
.
Place a sufficiently large container (lubricant quantity indicated on the nameplate) under
the drain plug.
2
