Oil Levels

TYPES DH & DB —

Fill the drive with oil to the level indicated

on the oil dipstick. Approximate oil capacities are given on the
drive nameplate. Gear drive can be filled through oil fill plug
or inspection cover. Clean area around fill location BEFORE
removing plug or cover to reduce the risk of debris
contaminating the drive. When filling with oil, pour a minimum
of 20 liters (5 gallons) of oil into lubrication pan in the top of
the drive, allow oil to drain from pan before checking level.
Lubricant must be clean to maximize gear and bearing life. It is
recommended to filter new oil when filling or adding oil to the
gear drive.
The inspection cover is sealed with a non hardening chemical
gasket eliminator. When replacing the inspection cover, run a
bead of Loctite Gasket Sealant #2 (or equivalent) around the
perimeter of the inspection opening, making sure to circle the
fastener holes.

DRIVES WITH OIL PUMPS

— Occasionally gear drives will be

equipped with oil pumps for cooling or special lubrication
considerations. If a drive is equipped with an oil pump, fill the
drive to the level marked on the dipstick. Run the lubrication
system for several minutes to fill the system components. Verify
that the pump is circulating oil properly, then recheck oil level.
If necessary, add oil to compensate for filter and/or cooler.
Before starting the gear drive, rotate the input shaft to check for
obstructions. Then start the drive and allow it to run without
load for several minutes. Shut down and recheck oil level. If
everything is satisfactory, the drive is ready for operation.

Preventive Maintenance

AFTER FIRST WEEK —

Check alignment of total system and

realign where necessary. Also tighten all external bolts and
plugs where necessary. DO NOT readjust the internal gear or
bearing settings in the drive, these were permanently set at the
Factory. See Table 7 for fastener and wrench sizes.

AFTER FIRST MONTH —

Proceed as follows:

1. Operate drive until old sump oil reaches normal operating

temperature. Shut down drive and drain immediately.

2. Immediately flush drive with an oil of the same type and

viscosity grade as the original charge (warmed to
approximately 38°C (100°F) in cold weather) by rapidly
pouring or pumping a charge equal to 15 - 25% of the
initial fill volume or until clean oil flows through the drain.

3. Close the drain and refill the drive to the correct level with

new oil of the correct type and viscosity.

PERIODICALLY —

1. Check the oil level of the drive when it is stopped and at

ambient temperature. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is
ABOVE the high oil level mark on the dipstick, have the oil
analyzed for water content. Moisture in the oil may indicate
that a seal or the heat exchanger is leaking. If so, replace
the defective part immediately and change the oil. DO
NOT fill above the mark indicated as leakage or undue
heating may result.

2. Check coupling alignment to make certain that foundation

settling has not caused excessive misalignment.

3. If drive is equipped with a fan, periodically clean accumulated

foreign matter from the fan, guard, and deflector.

4. If drive is equipped with a torque arm, check for free

movement.
