3. Equipment Lubrication
Drive Unit:
Unless otherwise specified, Drive Unit gearmotors are supplied with food grade Klüberoil UH1-6-
460 lubricant. The gearmotor requires that this oil be changed every 10,000 operating hours or
every two years, whichever comes first. In applications where hostile operating conditions exist,
such as high humidity, corrosive environment, or large temperature changes, the oil should be
changed at more frequent intervals. To check the oil level, remove the plated (non-painted) oil
level plug. The oil level is correct when the surface of the oil is level with the lowest point of that
tapped hole.
For units installed in the standard upright position (nameplate should state “Mount Pos. M5A”) the
recommended amount of oil is 1.16 gallons [4.4 liters]. For any other mounting position, contact
MPE for recommended oil amounts.
Turnaround Unit:
The two flange bearings located on the Turnaround unit are double sealed and are permanently pre-
lubricated with USDA approved H1 grease. These bearings require no relubrication, even in
washdown environments.
