Guidelines for when to change food grade polyalkylene
glycol type lubricant are:
1. Water content is greater than 3%.
2. Iron content exceeds 150 ppm.
3. Silicon (dust/dirt) exceeds 25 ppm, above reference
sample from new oil container.
4. Copper content exceeds 75 ppm.
5. Viscosity changes more than ±15%.
6. Solid particle contamination code 25/22/18 per ISO 4406.
Laboratory analysis is recommended for optimum lubricant
life and gear drive performance.
PETROLEUM LUBRICANTS (FOOD GRADE) — In the
absence of oil analysis, change gear oils every 6 months
or 2500 operating hours, whichever occurs first. Change
oil more frequently when gear drives operate in extremely
humid, chemical or dust laden atmospheres. In these
cases, lubricants should be changed every 3 to 4 months
or 1500 to 2000 hours. If the drive is operated in an area
where temperatures vary with the seasons, change the oil
viscosity grade to suit the temperature, refer to Table 9.
Lubricant suppliers can test oil from the drive periodically
and recommend economical change schedules.
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS (FOOD GRADE) — In the
absence of oil analysis, synthetic lube change intervals
can be extended to 8000 hours depending upon operating
temperatures. Laboratory analysis is recommended for
optimum lubricant life and drive performance. Change lube
with change in ambient temperature, if required. Refer to
Table 10.
GREASE-LUBRICATED SEALS
All drives are furnished with grease purged seals which
minimize the entry of contaminants and abrasive dusts into
the drive. Drives are shipped with NLGI #2 grade grease
in the seal housing cavities unless otherwise specified.
Whenever changing oil in the drive, purge the seals with one
of the NLGI #2 grade greases listed in Table 14. Depending
upon the degree of contamination, it may be necessary to
purge contaminated grease from seals more often (at least
every 3 to 6 months). Slowly pump fresh bearing grease
through the seal, WITH HAND GREASE GUN, until fresh
grease flows out along the shaft. Wipe off purged grease.

consult lubricant supplier for recommendations.

WARNING: Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) lubricants are not compatible with petroleum mineral oils or PAO synthetic lubricants. PAG’s must not be mixed or
used to top off either petroleum mineral oils or PAO synthetic lubricants.
c Kinematic viscosity in units of mm
2
/S is equivalent to cSt (centistokes).
Gear drives NOT equipped with internal backstop may widen the ambient temperature range to -18° to +125°F (-28° to +52°C).
DO NOT use in drives equipped with internal backstop.
If grease could contaminate the product, as in the food
and drug industries, the grease originally supplied
with gear drive must be removed and replaced with
grease listed in Table 14. Refer to gear drive assembly/
disassembly instructions. Simply purging grease with
grease gun will not remove all grease and cross-
contamination will likely occur. Grease registered as H1
by NSF, National Sanitation Foundation, is suitable for food
processing applications.
STORED & INACTIVE GEAR DRIVES
Prior to shipment from the factory, all Rexnord enclosed
gear drives are protected internally against corrosion with
a rust preventative oil. A vapor phase rust inhibitor may
also be added.
WARNING: These corrosion inhibitors are not H1
registered with the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation)
as suitable for food processing applications. When Food
Grade Lubricants are to be used, it is the end users
responsibility to properly flush and prepare the drive for
Food Grade service. Contact the lubricant manufacturer for
specific information and flushing procedures.
