PLANETARY GEARBOX
Change gear box oil using API-GL-5, 80W or 90W lubricant after the first 50 hours of
operation and then every 1000 hours or 12 months, whichever comes first. Check oil level fre
-
quently to maintain proper lubrication. Oil should be at operating temperature when checking
or changing gear box oil.
NOTE: Place planetary in a horizontal position and wait 5 minutes before removing drain
plug. This will give the oil a chance to drain from gears/bearings and therefore show an
accurate oil level.
