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.
