RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT
The Model 2100 requires periodic lubri-
cation of the motors and speed reduction
units. Speed reduction units, which drive
the feed screw and agitator, are mounted
on the end of the feed hopper (Figure 23).
The units are filled with oil at the time of
shipment and should be checked for
correct level before starting the machine.
Correct oil level must be maintained for
adequate lubrication of gears and bear-
ings, and to insure maximum life of the
speed reduction units.
Oil level is checked by removing the oil
level pipe plugs located at the horizontal
center line of each housing (Figure 24).
The vented filler plug is located in the
uppermost position in the housing. The
arrow on the plug should point up. The
drain plug is located in the lowest position
in the housing.
Oil capacity is 1-1/2 U.S. quarts (1.4
liters) for the agitator speed reduction unit
and 3 quarts (2.8 liters) for the feed screw
speed reduction unit. Use a lubricant such
as Mobil DTE No. 26 Hydraulic Oil or
equivalent. See reduction unit manufac-
turer’s instructions for additional specifica-
tions.
After an initial run of approximately 250
hours, the housings should be drained,
preferably while warm. Refill to the proper
level with fresh oil. Under normal condi-
tions oil should be replaced at regular
intervals of 2500 hours of operation or six
months, whichever occurs first.
NOTE: Oil should be changed more
frequently if the unit is operated in chemi-
cal fumes, extremely moist, dusty or high
ambient temperature conditions.
Temperature of the reduction units may
reach 160°F (71°C) when new or under
extremely warm ambient conditions. This
temperature will not affect operation of the
units. Do not allow the units to operate
over 225°F (107°C). Check for overload or
high ambient temperature. For additional
information, consult reduction unit manu-
facturer’s instructions supplied with the
machine.
