Lubrication

The bearings on the cutterhead are factory lubricated and sealed for life – no lubrication required.

Gearbox – The oil in the gearbox must be drained and replaced after the first 20 hours of operation. (See the Lubrication Table).

Inspect levels periodically and change yearly. Replace gear oil more frequently under heavy use. Fill until the oil reaches the top of the filler plug port for correct oil level.

Figure 39

1.Remove the drain plug (3. Fig. 39), and filler cap (A, Fig. 40). Drain dirty oil thoroughly.

2.Tighten the drain plug (3, Fig. 39).

3. Fill with clean lubricant through hole (A, Fig. 40).
