MAINTENANCE
Mineral lubricant should be changed every 10,000 service hours or after two years. For synthetic oils, the lube should be changed every
20,000 service hours or after four years. In case of extreme operating (e.g. high humidity, aggressive environment or large temperature
variations), shorter intervals between changes are recommended.
OIL SPECIFICATIONS
NORD supplies aII reducers fiIIed with oiI from the factory. Consult the sticker adjacent to the fill plug to determine the type of lubricant
installed at the factory. Standard lubricant is ISO VG220 mineral-based oil. However, some units have special lubricants designed to operate
in certain environments or to extend the service life of the lubricant. If in doubt about which lubricant is needed, contact NORD Gear.
