Procedures
This section provides instructions for the initial setup of the front end gearboxes as well as procedures for
servicing the gearbox, changing the gearbox oil, detecting gearbox problems, and separating the gearbox
and motor.
1.3.1
Initial Setup
The front end gearboxes are shipped installed on the pinspotter and oil level is verified prior to shipping.
Before initial operation, it is necessary to verify that the oil level is correct and to replace the solid fill plug
with the vent plug. The vent plug is shipped in an envelope attached to the solid fill plug.
Caution!
Do not operate the gearbox with the solid pipe plug installed in the top of the gearbox.
Doing so can cause the gearbox to pressurize and leak!
Tools Required
3/8-inch Open End Wrench
1.
Remove the solid pipe plug on top of the gearbox. This was
installed for shipping only.
2.
Verify that the gearbox oil level is visible in the built-in sight-glass.
It is important that the oil level is not above or below the sight-
glass. Do NOT overfill. If it is necessary to add oil, use Mobil 600w
Oil (P/N 715-021-716).
Note: The gearboxes are inspected and oil levels checked before being
installed at the factory. Unless oil has leaked during shipping, the gearbox
should have the appropriate amount of oil.
3.
Coat the threads of the vent plug with Loctite
®
#515 Gasket Eliminator.
4.
Install the vent plug in the threaded opening on top of the gearbox. Tighten securely.
5.
Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for the remaining gearboxes.
Whenever a gearbox is removed from the pinspotter or whenever the motor is removed from the
gearbox, coat the motor shaft, the bore of the gearbox input and output shafts, and the splines of the
table or sweep drive shaft, as applicable, with anti-seize compound before reassembling. Nickel Anti-Seize
(P/N 715-012-401) is recommended.
