GEARBOX LUBRICATION
The Bonglioli W86 gearbox used on the H10A is supplied with 0.64 litres (0.17 US gallons) of Shell Tivella S 320
synthetic oil. This oil has an ISO Viscosity Grade of 320 that is optimum for ambient temperatures from 20 - 40 Deg C
[70 – 104 Deg F]. The W86 was designed to be a sealed unit, so no oil change should be necessary. However, if the oil
needs to be changed, Bonglioli recommends that, should a lubricant other than the approved Shell type be used, this
be equivalent viscosity-wise and of the synthetic type. The lubricant must also have the necessary EP and anti-foaming
additives.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

NOTES:
1. IF THE BLADE IS RUNNING CLOCKWISE OR THE HYDRAULICPUMP IS NOISY, SHUT THE SAW DOWN
IMMEDIATELY!
2. IF THE DRIVE MOTOR IS TO BE REPLACED, IT MUST BE REPLACED WITH A TOTALLY ENCLOSED,
FAN COOLED (TEFC) MOTOR TO PREVENT COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE MOTOR.
3. THE HEAD SHOULD BE LOWERED FULLY, OR ONTO SUITABLE SUPPORTS, BEFORE ANY HYDRAULIC
SERVICE IS PERFORMED, TO PREVENT THE HEAD FROM MOVING UNEXPECTEDLY.
