7.3.1 GREASING AND LUBRICATION
Systematic and periodic machine greasing and lubrication keep it performing well and prolong its working life
LUBRICATING THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
Carefully clean components around plugs before
working on transmission systems: this prevents dirt from
penetrating into these systems.
Transmission systems require the following checks:
1- check the oil level in the gearbox during the first 20
work hours: oil must come up to the level hole. Add oil
as required. Perform the next oil level checks at 50
hour intervals.
2- totally replace the oil in the gearbox after the first 40
work hours. Then repeat this every 250 work hours;
Oil is introduced into the gearbox through the hole closed by
plug R. The oil level is indicated by the hole closed with plug L.
Remove protective cone C in order to access plug L.
GENERAL GREASING
RL
– levelling roller
grease every 8 work hours on both ends of the roller, pumping in grease until it comes
out.
RT
– rotor
grease every 8 work hours, pumping a maximum of 1-2 times to avoid harm to the
internal bearing seals; The rotor is lubricated from the pulley side using the grease
nipple placed on the tube that exits from the transmission casing.
S
– joint
grease every 20 work hours.
P
– parallelogram
grease every 20 work hours.
