LUBRICATION
The bearings on the cutterhead are factory lubricated and
sealed for life – no lubrication required.
The lubricant in the gearbox must be replaced every
2,500 hours. Multi-purpose gearbox lubricant will be suitable.
To replace the gearbox lubricant:
Remove the drain plug (A, Fig. 30), and filler cap (B, Fig. 30).
Drain dirty oil thoroughly.
Tighten the drain plug (A, Fig. 30).
Fill with clean lubricant through hole (B, Fig. 30).
Tighten filler cap (B, Fig. 30).
