5.9 LUBRICATION
Gearboxes can be supplied with or without lubricant, as shown in table 5, or as speci ed by the
customer.
On gearboxes with an oil level plug, check the oil level before starting up the gearbox. As with  lling, this
operation must be done with the gearbox in the mounting position in which it will be used in the application.
If necessary,  ll or top up the lubricant to the half way point in the level window, to the reference notch on
the dipstick, or until it starts to  ow out of the plug hole.
The charts on the following pages show the position of the service plugs.
The lubricant utilised must be new and uncontaminated and can be poured in through the  ller hole or from
the inspection cover opening using a  ller  lter with 25 µm mesh, ensuring that the relative gasket is re tted
without damaging it or reapplying the sealant to provide a perfectly oil-tight  t.
Gearboxes that are lubricated for life and not subject to external contamination do not normally
require periodic lubricant changes. The following table identi es the gearboxes that are supplied
with synthetic “for life” lubricant.
