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 flush the gear if necessary.
The oil level can be checked by the oil level contol 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 first 500 hours of operation.
The recommendations above do not apply to abnormal operating conditions, i.e., high tempera-
ture, 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 oper-
tion at the latest. For further regreasing intervals please refer to the tables below.

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 flange on the input part or the motor flange
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 tem-
perature 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.
