GEARBOX LUBRICATION
The gearbox on your Jaylor uses synthetic oil as its lubricant. The oil reservoir, on the right side
of the mixer drum, contains the lubricant for the gearbox. The oil has a colorant added, which
makes the fluid level more visible in the reservoir. Refer to the
‘Maintenance and Service
Information’
section for information on the lubricant specifications for your Jaylor.
Every Jaylor is equipped with an oil reservoir. The polyethylene body is a very durable material,
which is able to withstand severe impact. However, if a reservoir is damaged, it must be replaced
with an approved reservoir and/or components, recommended by the manufacturer. If a reservoir
sustains any damage, call your Jaylor Dealer or Distributor immediately.
The polyethylene reservoir has decals indicating the maximum and minimum oil level range under
normal operating conditions. At no time is the fluid level to be lower than the minimum
recommended level, as damage to the gearbox may occur. If the fluid level is higher than the
maximum level, the oil may overflow either at the reservoir or underneath the machine at the
gearbox, and cause fluid loss. Check the fluid level in the reservoir daily.
The oil reservoir has a filter/breather located on the top, which must be attached to the reservoir
at all times. This breather is removable, to allow the filling of the reservoir. If the filter/breather
becomes contaminated, remove the breather, and clean it. Follow the instructions as described
in the
‘Maintenance and Service Information’
section.
