Lubrication Specification
2. LUBRICATION (CONT.)
Caution! Too much oil will cause overheating and too little will result in gear failure.
Check oil level regularly.
Caution! Extreme pressure (EP) lubricants are not recommended for average
operating conditions. Failure to observe these precautions could result in
damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
Under extreme operating conditions, such as rapid rise and fall of temperatures,
dust, dirt, chemical particles, chemical fumes, or oil sump temperatures above
200
o F, the oil should be changed every one to three months, depending on
severity of conditions.
Caution! If the unit is used in the food or drug industry (including animal food)
consult the petroleum supplier for recommendations on lubricants which meet the
specifications of the FDA, USDA, and/or other authoritative bodies having
jurisdiction. Standard lubricants are not suitable for these applications or these
industries.
The pour point of the lubricant selected should be at least 10 o F lower than the ex-
pected minimum ambient starting temperature. Extreme pressure (EP) lubricants are
not recommended for average operating conditions.
Warning! Oil, housings, and other components can reach high temperatures
during operation, and can cause severe burns. Use extreme care when removing
lubrication plugs and vents while servicing the unit.
