GEARBOX LUBRICATION (V18 WITH A412 GEARBOX)
The Bonglioli A412 gearbox used on the V18 is supplied with 5.0 litres (1.32 US gallon) of Mobil SHC 630 synthetic oil.
This oil has an ISO Viscosity Grade of 220 that is optimum for ambient temperatures from 10 – 40 Deg C [70 – 104 Deg
F]. If the machine will be operated for prolonged periods at ambient temperatures below 20 Deg C [70 Deg F] an oil of
ISO Viscosity Grade 150 should be substituted.
The suggested oil change interval is given below:
Oil Temperature
Deg C [Deg F]
Mineral Oil Interval
[hours]
Synthetic Oil Interval
[hours]
< 65 [< 150] 8000 25000
65 – 80 [150 – 175] 4000 15000
80 – 95 [175 – 200] 2000 12500
LUBRICATION
The V18 was designed with a goal to minimize the maintenance required so as to reduce downtime. Moving parts of the
V18 will require periodic lubrication nonetheless; primarily the application of a general purpose grease to the guide arms,
vise ways, and the linear bearings. The following photos show the location of grease ttings that should be lubricated
monthly.
In addition to the grease ttings shown, it is good practice to maintain a constant greased surface on the vise ways. As the
vises are precision t to the vise table, the constant friction of metal to metal can be eectively alleviated with the applica-
tion of a general purpose grease. If the saw is left for long periods without use, an eective coating of grease will prevent
metal to metal adhesion and rust.
Idler wheel slide assembly grease nipples
are found behind the wheel. One above
and one below the wheel shaft. A ex-
ible grease gun hose with a 45
o
tting is
required to apply the grease.
One of 4 linear bearing block
grease nipples. There is one at
each corner of the head carrier
