CONTROL, FILLING AND OIL REPLACEMENT IN WHEEL
REDUCTION GEARS
Periodically check for leaks and that, with the machine parked and the
gears positioned as illustrated below, the oil reaches the required
level: if necessary, top up.
FIGURE 5.5 – WHEEL REDUCTION GEARS PLUG POSITION
WARNING: When more than 10% of the total quantity needs to be
topped up, it may be an indication of a gear leak.
The first oil change must be done after the first 100 hours of
operation. Subsequent oil changes are done after 1,000 hours or at
least once a year.
- Capacity of each single reduction gear: 0.3 L
- For the type of lubricant, refer to the lubrication table.
The emptying of the gear is done immediately after operation when the
oil is still hot to avoid deposits of impurities.
Pay careful attention when emptying, as the hot oil may cause serious
burns. Clean the plug with detergent, taking extreme care to keep it
clean during the refilling phase. Cleanliness is essential for the proper
functioning of the machine and the hydrostatic system, in particular.
The brake does not require any specific maintenance. The controls are
limited to periodic checks of the gear oil level and external leaks.
In case of a decrease or increase in the oil level inside the gear and
with no external leaks, the internal gear gaskets must be overhauled
by an authorised service centre.
