Lubricant replacement

Lubricant replacement time
7.4.1.
When this product is operated filled with an appropriate amount of
lubricant, the standard lubricant replacement time due to lubricant
degradation is 20,000 hours. However, when operation involves a
reduction gear surface temperature above 40°C (the
area in the
right diagram), the state of the lubricant should be checked in advance and
the grease replaced earlier as necessary. For the lubricants specified by
Nabtesco, refer to “2.3. Lubricant”.
