Hydraulic Oil Cleanliness

APE uses only Biodegradable Envirologic 146
hydraulic fluid. Consult your local oil supplier
for recommendations on mixing hydraulic oils.
See the warranty document at the beginning of
this manual concerning fluid cleanliness, and
Understanding ISO Codes at the rear of this
manual.
New hydraulic fluid is NOT clean oil!
Oil must meet ISO cleanliness code 17/15/11
Severe Conditions
Vibratory Gearbox
The servicing intervals are specified on
normal operation conditions. Operation under
severe conditions require shorter service
intervals.
• When the average outside temperature is
above 80 F (26 C) or below -10 F (-23 C),
reduce service time intervals by one-half.
• When operating in the presence of dust
or sand, reduce service time intervals by
one-half.
• When operating in air with high salt or
moisture the service intervals do not need
to be changed. However the unit should
be inspected weekly to determine if
additional servicing is required.
The oil level is easily read through the
sight glass located at the lower center
of the vibratory gearbox on the motor
side. Lubricating oil may be added when
necessary, through the hole in the vibration
case top plate after removing the 1” SAE
O-ring plug. To drain the case, remove the 1”
pipe plug at the end of the base plate. Tilt the
case for complete drainage.
The preferred lubricating oil for APE vibro
gearbox is high molly oil. The recommended
oil by APE is Schaeffer 268.
The vibratory gearbox capacity is 1.5 Gallons
(5.8 L).
