Refilling Planetary Gearbox and Reservoir:
The oil in the gearbox should be changed at least annually. However, if there is a leak, so much oil may be lost that the
system may have to be virtually refilled. Also if metal contaminants are found on the magnetic plug, the system should be
drained and refilled with clean oil. When refilling or changing oil, follow this procedure:
a. Place a large pan or pail under the drain (magnetic plug). Remember, the system holds 22L
(5.8 US gallons) of oil for the 1000 RPM gearbox or 20L (5.2 US gallons) for the 540 RPM gearbox.
b. Remove plug and allow sufficient time for the system to drain.
c. Dispose of the used oil in an environmentally safe manner.
d. Clean the magnetic plug and reinstall. Tighten plug to its specified torque.
e. Clean around the breather on the reservoir. Remove the breather and its mounting bushing.
f. Remove the connecting hose at the reservoir assembly that runs to the
base of the planetary.
g. Using a hand pump, pump in approximately 15 liters (4 US gallons) of oil into each planetary.
Do not pump
in more than 15 liters (4 uS gallons)
as the breather hose can become air locked if filled with oil. If the
gearbox is over-filled, the breather hose must be pressurized with air (max. 5 psi) to force oil out of the
breather line. This will prevent a possible air lock from forming and damaging the gearbox. One liter
of fluid must be pushed back out of the fill hose to ensure that the line is clear.
h. Reconnect and tighten hose.
i. Finish filling the system through the reservoir. Final capacities are 22L (5.8 US gallons)
of oil for the 1000 RPM gearbox or 20L (5.2 US gallons) for the 540 RPM gearbox.
j. Clean the breather, reinstall and tighten to its specified torque.
Important: Monitor the oil level closely during the first few hours of use. Refill the reservoir as required to
maintain the proper level.
Refilling 2-Speed Transmission (If equipped):
a. Place a large pan or pail under the drain (magnetic plug).
b. Remove plug and allow sufficient time for the system to drain.
c. Dispose of the used oil in an environmentally safe manner.
d. Clean the magnetic plug and reinstall. Tighten plug to its specified torque.
e. Clean around the breather/fill plug. Remove and inspect the breather to ensure that it is functioning
properly.
f. Using a funnel, fill the transmission to the level of the sight glass. The sight glass is the correct oil level
for the transmission. The 2-speed transmission will hold approximately 10 litres (2.6 US gallons).
Important:
Pressure above 3-5 PSI can damage the seal at the top of the gearbox, so care must be taken to
ensure that oil is pumped in slowly. Do not pump in more than 1 qt per minute.
