B-2. MAINTENANCE
REDEX-ANDANTEX spiral bevel gearboxes and multi-speed units require only minimal
maintenance. This is limited to a regular check of the oil level and a change of oil after 50 hours
initial service. Thereafter, the oil should be changed every 4000 hours.
Where conditions of working are particularly arduous, such as high humidity, abrasive atmosphere
or a wide variation in temperature, a reduction in service interval is recommended.
Grease lubricated bearing housings should be cleaned out after 10.000 hours of service and re-
charged with Mobilux EP3 (Mineral, NLGI grade 3). The quantity of grease used should not exceed
one third of the free space surrounding the rotating components.
B-3. DRAINING
Draining is carried out by removing the magnetic drain plug (or screw painted red) at the bottom of
the unit - preferably when the oil is warm.
It is not necessary to flush out the units at each oil change interval. However, if this operation is
carried out, we recommend using a flushing oil.
B-4. GREASE LUBRICATION
In certain circumstances units are supplied grease filled. The type of grease is indicated on the
label fixed to the unit casing. (Shell Alvania WRO – Mineral, NLGI grade 0 or 00). We recommend
changing the grease as indicated in the table below:
Grease change interval (Hours)
B-5. OIL SPRAY LUBRICATION
Certain high speed applications or vertical installations require this very efficient method of
lubrication. Several recommended brands of oil for this purpose are given in the table below. If oils
of greater viscosity are used, proper dispersion will not be achieved.
