Cyclo® BBB4
Oil Fill Procedure
• Always stop the unit before adding oil . Overfill may cause oil leaking issue .
• Oil level may drop during operation, depending on the oil viscosity, temperature and direction of rotation . Ad-
ditional oil is not necessary . Check the oil level when the unit is stopped to ensure that it has the correct amount
of oil .
• It may take some time for the oil to settle when the oil viscosity is high . Be careful not to add too much oil .
• There may be two different oil fill locations for some combinations; refer to oil fill/ drain locations figure for details .
• Consider implementing an oil analysis program to ensure lubricant continues to operate at peak performance . Follow your
lubrication provider’s oil analysis recommendations to ensure reducer performance .
• Always consult factory and warehouses for overhaul of gearmotors and reducers . Familiarity with Cyclo®
products is necessary for proper overhaul .
1 . Remove the ‘Oil filler plug’, and ‘Oil fill air vent’ as referenced in Figure 2 .
2 . Slowly add oil while checking the level through the oil gauge .
