needed, use the recommended gear oil listed below.
(d) Recommended Gear Oil: ( )
Use Bloom ULLTRA-LUBE NO. 601 trans-worm gear oil; available from Bloom in pints or quarts. For emergency
situations when Bloom ULLTRA-LUBE NO. 601 is not immediately available, use Phillips 66 Company SAE grade
80W90 superior multi-purpose gear oil (Phillips 80W90 SMP) meeting API classification GL-5 or equivalent brand.
Continuous use of oil other than Bloom ULLTRA-LUBE NO. 601 or Phillips 80W90 SMP oil may shorten the life of the
gears. DO NOT mix Bloom #601 or Phillips 80W90 SMP with more than 50% of any other kind of oil.

that the worm and gear have an opportunity to wear in properly.
• Periodically, check the gearbox for temperature rises and allow the Speed Reducer to cool
down if necessary.
