Oil Volume
Changing the Oil
Gear units are shipped from the factory
with a pre-determined oil ll level in
accordance to the specied reducer size
and mounting position.
Actual oil volume can vary slightly depending
upon the gear case size, mounting, and ratio.
Prior to starting the reducer, check the oil
ll level using the reducer’s oil level plug and
drain or add oil as needed.
1. Determine the position of the oil level plug and
the breather valve. Refer to the next page.
2. Place a container under the oil drain plug.
3. Slowly remove the oil level plug. Small amounts
of oil may leak out if the permitted maximum
oil level is higher than the lower edge of the oil
level bore.
4. Remove the breather valve and the oil drain plug.
5. Drain the oil completely.
6. Re-insert the oil drain plug.
7. Fill with fresh oil of the same type via the
breather bore. Do not mix dierent synthetic
lubricants. Observe the oil quantity according to
the specications on the nameplate.
8. Re-insert the oil level plug and the breather valve.
