The recommended lubricant for use in the SL Series is an
EP00 grade, lithium based, extreme pressure grease intended
for ‘sealed for life’ units. Suitable for operating temperatures
between –30°C and 120°C (-22°F to 266°F) and a base
viscosity in the region of 200 cSt at 40°C (104°F).
The unit is shipped as standard with the recommended grade
listed above. Refer to manufacturers recommended operating
conditions concerning limitations, servicing and application. In
case of doubt, please consult the factory for details.
SLA = 0.25 Liters .......... (0.066 US gallons)
SLB = 0.7 Liters ............ (0.184 US gallons)
SLC = 1.1 Liters ............
(0.29 US gallons)
SLD = 2.2 Liters ............ (0.58 US gallons)
SLE = 4.6 Liters ............ (1.21 US gallons)
SLF = 8.2 Liters ............ (2.16 US gallons)
SLG = 12 Liters ............ (3.16 US gallons)
During the filling operation, lubricant should be directed at
the
front bearings to ensure good circulation and coverage in this
area.
Care should be taken not to overfill the gearbox.
