Changing Oil & Adjusting Oil Flow

This machine is equipped with a pressurized constant-flow oiling system where the oil returns back to the reservoir through oil galley drillings in the machine castings. Once oil is returned back to the reservoir, the oil is then filtered through a mesh screen and pumped back into the machine.

In heavy industrial or dirty environments, change this oil more frequently. To avoid oil breakdown, DO NOT MIX OILS! If changing oil types, be sure to flush the system with the new oil and discard the flushed oil.
