For the horizontal type, the standard position for the oil gauge is to the right looking from the slow
speed shaft (output shaft). However, it can be mounted on either the right or left side, so mount it where
it is easy to see.
1. Remove the ller plug.
2. Pour oil into the oil ller port, keeping an eye on the oil gauge to check the oil level.
3. Conrm that the oil level is up to the top red line on the oil gauge.
4. Replace the ller plug.
1. Remove the ller plug. For frame sizes other than models other than frame size 6255, 6265, remove the air vent
plug to release air.
2. Pour oil into the oil ller port, keeping an eye on the oil gauge to check the oil level.
3. Conrm that the oil level is up to the top red line on the oil gauge.
4. For frame sizes other than models other than frame size 6255, 6265 wrap the air vent plug with sealing tape and
install it.
5. Replace the ller plug.

Only ll oil when the machine is stopped.
•
It will take some time for high-viscosity oil to reach a uniform level. Be careful to not overll. If oil is lled
above the top red line, churning heat may raise the temperature.
•
Use the lower red line of the oil gauge as a guideline for the oil level while the machine is running. It is
normal for the oil level to drop below the bottom red line immediately after the machine starts. It will
return when oil viscosity drops as the machine runs.
