Changing the Gearbox Oil
Replace the gearbox oil following every 100,000 frames of pinspotter operation. The amount of oil needed for
each front end gearbox is 45 ounces. The oil can be drained with the gearbox installed on the pinspotter or
removed to a work area. If draining the oil with the gearbox installed in the pinspotter, take adequate
precautions to collect the waste oil and prevent it from dripping onto the pinspotter or the lane surface.
Tools Required
1/4-inch Hex Wrench
Waste Oil Container
3/8-inch Open End Wrench
Funnel
1.
Lock out and tag out the pinspotter in accordance with your bowling center’s established procedures.
2.
Unplug the gearbox motor’s electrical connector.
3.
Position a funnel between the drip pan and the gearbox drain plug and then insert the small end of the
funnel into a waste container.
4.
Remove the drain plug from the gearbox. The oil used in the gearbox will drain slowly. Removing the
vent plug can speed draining. Secure the funnel in place, as needed, while the gearbox is draining.
Allow the gearbox to drain completely.
5.
Inspect the waste oil for metal filings. Significant quantities indicate excessive gear wear and may
warrant further inspection.
6.
Clean off and coat the threads of the drain plug with Loctite
®
#515 Gasket Eliminator.
7.
Wipe away any oil from the threads of the drain opening and install the drain plug. Tighten securely.
Allow 30 minutes for the thread sealant to cure before filling the gearbox with oil. Failure to do so
can result in oil leakage.
8.
If not done previously, remove the vent plug.
9.
Fill the gearbox with Mobil 600w Oil, P/N 715-021-716 [one-quart bottle] or 715-021-706 [case of 12
one-quart bottles] until the oil level is clearly visible in the sight glass. DO NOT OVERFILL!
10.
Clean the threads of the vent plug, apply Loctite
®
#515 Gasket Eliminator to the threads, and reinstall
the vent plug in the fill opening. Tighten securely.
11.
Reconnect the gearbox motor’s electrical connector and if maintenance is complete, return the
pinspotter to service.
12.
Dispose of the used oil and any oily rags properly.
CAUTION!
OILY RAGS CAN BE A FIRE HAZARD. DISPOSE OF THEM IN AN APPROVED METAL
CONTAINER ONLY!
