9 MAINTENANCE
Maintenance can be “routine or unscheduled”.
9.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
The operator is responsible for routine maintenance and must carry out the following activities.
•
After a brief operating period of about 100 hours (run-in phase), change the oil.
•
Check that there are no metallic parts with unusual dimensions in the magnetic plug of the gear unit.
•
Change the oil in the pump drive while it is hot so that it is easier to drain.
•
Clean the inside of the pump drive with a liquid cleaner that is suitable and recommended by the lubricant manufacturer.
•
Subsequent oil changes will be made every 2000-2500 hours of operation or, in any case, each year.
•
Do not mix different types of oil.
•
Periodically check the levels (about once a month) and top up if necessary.
•
Please check the oil level when the pump drive does not work.
•
For each unit it is recommended to keep a chart that will be duly filled out and updated each time maintenance is performed.
9.2 OIL CHANGE:
•
Identify the pump drive from paragraph "Configurations:" page 9 and as a consequence the oil drain plug, according to the
pump drive configuration.
•
Unscrew the drain plug and breather plug to help the oil drain from the gear unit, and once emptied, re-assemble the drain
plug.
•
Wash the interior of the pump drive with a suitable cleaning liquid that is recommended by the lubricant manufacturer as
follows:
Place the liquid in the pump drive and then re-assemble the filler plugs, turn it for a few minutes at a high speed, then empty
the cleaning liquid again from the pump drive.
•
See paragraph "Pump drive lubrication:" page 20 for filling instructions.
9.3 RBD COUPLING MAINTENANCE:
No specific maintenance is required for the RBD couplings. Just periodically inspect the rubber blocks.
•
They must be replaced when the first signs of wear are detected. Do not wait until they have broken.
9.4 FP FLEXPLATE COUPLING MAINTENANCE:
No specific maintenance is required for the FP Flexplate couplings. Just periodically inspect the coupling making sure that the
metal disk is undamaged and keep the groove of the disk holder hub greased.
9.5 UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE:
Dana Incorporated prohibits the pump drive to be opened to carry out any operation that is not included in routine maintenance
procedures.
Dana Incorporated will not be held responsible for all those operations carried out that are not included in routine maintenance
procedures, which have caused damage to property or injured persons. When the need arises, contact the nearest Dana Incor-
porated service centers.
