Note:
•
Drain oil while it is warm (not hot) to avoid sludge deposits.
•
For an effective oil change, flush the system with liquid detergent recommended by the
lubricant supplier before refilling the system.
•
If you are unable to pump oil it may all be added through the reservoir; however, this can take
up to 24 hours. The reservoir will slowly feed oil into the gearbox through the connecting
hose. The gearbox fills slowly so the reservoir will need to be refilled several times.
IMPORTANT:
Monitor the oil level closely during the first few hours of use. Refill the reservoir as
required maintaining the proper level.

Breather/Filter Assembly:
Each planetary gearbox oil reservoir is designed with a breather/filter assembly on the top to vent
the internal system pressure to atmosphere. It must be kept clean and free of contaminants and
debris to function properly.
Remove and
clean every 200 hours of operation, twice annually,
or if the gearbox lubrication system develops a leak
. To maintain the breather, follow this
procedure:
a.
Visually check the reservoir breather every day
. Remove any material that falls on top of
the breather and polyethylene oil reservoir. Keep clean and clear to allow free flow of air for
venting the internal system pressure to atmosphere.
b.
Cleaning Breather:
Clean the breather every 200 hours of operation, twice annually, or whenever the lubrication
system develops a leak.
i.
Clean the top of the oil reservoir.
ii. Remove breather and bushing.
iii. Disassemble breather.
iv. Remove any buildup in the breather passages and clean the foam using a mild detergent.
v. Reassemble and install in reservoir. Tighten to its specified torque.
Note:
•
Models 5750HD, 5850HD & 51000HD only – There is a second breather located within the
auger tube sticking out the top of the gearbox. This breather should also be inspected and
cleaned periodically.
IMPORTANT:
Oil is added to the lubrication system through the breather hole. Always clean
around the breather prior to removing it and adding oil.
IMPORTANT:
When spraying water to clean the mixer, protect the breather and reservoir to
avoid contamination.
IMPORTANT:
If it is necessary to add oil frequently to maintain the required oil level, there is a
leak in the system. Determine the source of the leak and correct before continuing to operate the
machine. Contact your Jaylor dealer or distributor if you require assistance.
