4. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
page 5
The machines are supplied without lubricating oil both in the transmission pipes and
the gear units. Before starting the machine, ensured they are filled correctly:
- unscrew the caps: fill and breather;
-
very slowly
add SAE90 oil
(ISO VG150 for HD and IV)
(see oil quantity tables);
- wait at least 3 hours (ONLY FOR TRANSMISSION PIPES) before checking the oil
level from the relevant cap;
- close the caps.
- check the level cap periodically: the oil must never fall below the level.
If the machine is equipped with a vacuum pump (11 fig. 2), the relevant tank (12 fig. 2)
must be filled with fluid oil (hydraulic) to lubricate the vanes.
FOR PUMPS WITH HD AND IV UNITS:
These pumps are equipped with a special double chamber suction cone, which circu-
lates and cools the lubrication oil for the step-up gearbox. In this case, proceed as fol-
lows:
- fill the step-up gearbox,
- fill the double chamber of the suction cone,
- start the hydraulic pump of the step-up gearbox moving, so that the oil that has al-
ready been introduced circulates throughout the hydraulic circuit. Check the level in the
cone and in the step-up gearbox, and top up as necessary.
