Changing the Planetary Gear
Drive Oil
Service Interval:
After the first 200 hours
Every 800 hours (Or yearly, whichever comes first)
Change the oil initially after first 200 hours of operation.
Thereafter change the oil every 800 hours, or yearly, whichever
occurs first. Use a high quality SAE 85W-140 gear lube.
1.
With the machine on a level surface, position a wheel
so that one of the check plugs is at the lowest (6
o'clock) position (
).

When all of the oil has drained from both locations,
re-install the plug in the brake housing.
5.
Rotate the wheel until the open plug hole in the
planetary is at the twelve o'clock position.
6.
Through the open hole, slowly fill the planetary with
0.5 L (22 oz) of high quality SAE 85W-140 wt. gear
lube.
Important:
If the planetary fills before the 0.5
L (22 oz) of oil is added, wait one hour or install
the plug and move the machine approximately 10
feet to distribute the oil through the brake system.
Then, remove the plug and add the remaining oil.
7.
Install the plug.

Repeat the procedure on the opposite planetary/brake
assembly.
