Planetary Seal
Occasionally, the planetary seal (Fig. 4) may become dry and begin to squeak. To correct this, work a little lubrication under the lip of the seal.
Transmission
The transmission oil should be even with the line on the Oil Level Gauge when the motor is NOT running. If the oil falls below this line, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY and remove the Top Cover, which is secured by two screws. Remove the Transmission Fill Plug (Fig. 5) and add a small amount of the recommended transmission oil until it returns to the proper level. DO NOT overfill the transmission as leakage may result. Contact your local Hobart service office for the recommended transmission oil: Mobilgear 634 (quantity 3785 ml = 128 fluid ounces).
Bowl Lift
The slideways and lift screw (Fig. 4) should be lubricated approximately twice a year. To reach these areas, fully lower the bowl support and remove the apron, which is secured by four thumb screws. Wipe a thin coat of Lubriplate 630AA (supplied) on the bowl clamp area of the bowl supports, each slideway, and the lift screw. Replace the apron.
On units with a manual bowl lift, the handwheel gearing should be lubricated periodically. To do this, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY and remove the top cover, which is secured by two screws. Wipe a coat of Lubriplate 630AA on the gear teeth and replace the top cover.
