B. Helical gear center drive lubricants Reference Figure 1-14. :
Use only SAE 30W, SAE 40W, SAE 50W, or SAE 20W-50 multi viscosity engine oil. Use
of improper oil will void the gearbox warranty. Oil capacity is approximately one (1) U.S.
gallon (3.8 Liters).
C. In-season spur gear center drive maintenance.
Helical gear center drive gearboxes should be inspected periodically during the operat-
ing season as follows:
1. The proper oil level (1-1/2” [45 mm] from top of gear case) should be maintained
at all times.
2. Contaminated or emulsifi ed oil should be replaced with fresh oil.
3. Input & output shaft seals should be inspected for excessive leaks and replaced
if necessary.
4. Motor drain holes must be kept clear to allow moisture to drain.
5. Expansion chamber vent holes.

6. Replace the drain plug and refill until the oil (at 70˚F ambient temperature) reaches the threads on
the oil fill hole. See Diagram SG-2 for the oil level range at the bench top and at the pivot-
mounted position. Refer to oil specification.

B. SPUR GEAR CENTER DRIVE LUBRICANTS
1. Use SAE 50W, or SAE 20W-50 multi viscosity engine oil. Use ISO 460 or EP 460 gear oil. Use of
improper oil will void the gearbox warranty.
2. Oil capacity is 0.4 U.S. Gallons or 1.6 Liters approximately.
C. IN-SEASON SPUR GEAR CENTER DRIVE MAINTENANCE
The spur gear center drive gearboxes should be inspected periodically during the operating season.
1. The proper oil level should be maintained at all times. See Diagram SG-2.
2. Contaminated or emulsified oil should be replaced with new oil.
3. Input & output shaft seals should be inspected for excessive leaks and replaced if necessary.
Check motor can drain holes for oil. See step 2 in section A above.
4. Motor can and junction box drain holes must be kept clear so that any moisture can drain out. See
Diagram SG-1.
5. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE CENTER DRIVE AS SPECIFIED WILL VOID THE CENTER
DRIVE WARRANTY.
