Right Angle Drive Lubrication Information
All right angle drives require lubrication at the point where the pinion drive intersects with the drive gear.
This is generally in the area where the cutterhead is attached, except for the units that have belt drive.
There will be a small pipe plug that is removed to check oil level and add oil if needed. See illustration
below for general locations.
With the drive mounted on the machine spindle the oil level should be even with the bottom of the pipe
plug threads.
All Rottler Right Angle Drives are filled with Union 76 Turbine Oil 68 prior to shipment. Use this or an
equivalent ISO VG68 oil if the need to add or change oil arises.
When adding oil, fill until oil starts to run out of fill hole. Allow excess oil to drain, then coat pipe plug
threads with anti-seize compound and replace it.
