Changing Oil &
Adjusting Oil Flow
This machine is equipped with a pressurized
constant-flow oiling system where the oil returns
back to the reservoir through oil galley drillings
in the machine castings. Once oil is returned
back to the reservoir, the oil is then filtered
through a mesh screen and pumped back into the
machine.
In heavy industrial or dirty environments,
change this oil more frequently. To avoid oil
breakdown, DO NOT MIX OILS! If changing oil
types, be sure to flush the system with the new
oil and discard the flushed oil.
Recommended Oils:
s Mobil Vacuoline 1405
s Mobil Vacuoline 1409
s Shell Tonna 33
s Shell Tonna 27
s BP Energol HP 20-C
To change the oil and adjust the flow rate:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER.
2. Remove the panel from the rear of the
cabinet.
3. Using a standard screwdriver, turn number
#1, #2 and #3 needle valves (see Figure 47)
clockwise to the closed position. DO NOT
