If the transmission oil has to be topped up, make sure that the lubricant being added is compatible.
If transmission oil has to be replaced, flush out the gearbox before filling up.
If the hoist is operated for long periods in extremely cold conditions (colder than -25 ºC/-13 ºF) or
extremely hot conditions (hotter than + 55 ºC/+131 ºF), it is recommended that a synthetic lubricant is
used.
