Mixed types of oil may cause severe damage!
When refilling or replacing oil in a gearbox it is important to first check which type of oil is
recommended for use in the gearbox. As Kyodo Yushi TMO 150 (as well as Shell Tivela S
150) is not compatible with mineral oil, contamination with other types of oil in the gearboxes
is not accepted. Equipment used in handling Kyodo Yushi (as well as Shell Tivela S 150) must
be carefully cleaned before use!
If the type of oil needs to be changed, the gearbox must be thoroughly rinsed. See Rinsing the
gearbox on page 164.
NOTE!
When filling gearbox oil, do not mix different types of oil as this may cause severe damage
to the gearbox! Always use the recommended oil!
