GEARBOX
The oil in the gearbox of your FORCE/2 should be changed every year to ensure
proper lubrication of the gears and seals.
Changing oil in all direct drive models:
Model 22015
Place the machine on its side with clear access to the two
drain/fill plugs on the gearbox. Place a drain pan under each
plug to catch the used oil. Remove the drain plug from each
of the two gearbox chambers with a 90º 3/8 inch hex
wrench. Drain the oil into the pans. To refill, pour four
ounces of oil into a six ounce disposable paper cup. Bend
cup lip to form a pouring spout. Pour a total of 20 ounces
into worm gear case and 16 ounces into bevel gear case, and reinstall plugs using the
hex wrench. Note: At cold temperatures, oil thickens, slowing the draining process.
Leave your machine in a warm area overnight (eight hours) to make oil changing
easier. See illustration for the location of the drain/fill plugs.
