NOTE: Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems cannot accept
responsibility for damage to seals, O-rings and gaskets
caused by use of synthetic lubricants not
recommended by Tuthill Vacuum and Blower Systems.
Due to its superior viscosity index, Tuthill PneuLube™
provides the greatest ambient temperature flexibility.
Contact your local Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems
Sales Professional for availability of this superior
lubricant.
* Oil capacities are based on filling from dry condition. Less oil may be needed depending on emptiness of oil reservoir (gear
housing) after draining.
Always fill the gear housing until oil drips out of the oil level hole. Replace plugs in their respective holes. Following this procedure will
insure proper oil level.
RECOMMENDED GREASE FOR DRIVE END:
For the Competitor (3003) only
Use NLGI #2 premium grade, petroleum base grease with high temperature re-
sistance and good mechanical stability, such as PneuLube grease available from
your Tuthill Pneumatics Sales Professional. Using a pressure gun, force new
grease into each bearing until traces of clean grease come out of the relief fitting
