BUDDYBOX Operating Manual
8.8 Regreasing and oil change intervals
8.8.1 Oil change intervals
Oil level must be checked every 5,000 hours. If the oil is contaminated, burned or waxed,
change the oil immediately, and ush the gear if necessary.
The oil level can be checked by the oil level control device (refer to 8.4 and 8.5).
Under normal operating conditions oil should be changed every 10,000 hours or after 2 years
at the latest. A shorter oil change (every 3,000 or 5,000 hours) will increase the gear lifetime.
We recommend to change the oil after the rst 500 hours of operation.
The recommendations above do not apply to abnormal operating conditions, i.e., high tem-
perature, high humidity or corrosive environments. If any of these situations exist, the lubricant
may have to be changed more frequently.
8.8.2 Grease lubrication
All types with ESSO Unirex N2 are maintenance free for 20,000 hrs or 4-5 years.
All other grease lubricated types must be topped up after 500 hrs, or after 2 months in opertion
at the latest. For further regreasing intervals please refer to the tables below

9. Inspection and maintenance
9.1 Re-greasing of grease lubricated CYCLO Drive units
Unfasten the grease control screw and replenish with a grease gun through the grease nipple
at the ange on the input part or the motor ange
grease nipple
grease control screw
Continue re-greasing with the gear unit in operation to provide proper circulation of the grease.
For each re-greasing use about one third to half of the quantity shown by the graph in 8.2.1
and 8.2.2. If too much grease is applied, the operating heat can lead to a rise in the lubricant
temperature or grease might be forced into the motor or escape through the seals.
Remove grease residuals on the control screw and dispose of as required by environmental
regulations
