Routine Procedures

Carriage Gearbox
• If the gearbox is equipped with a “Site-Gauge”, observe the level through the glass. If it is determined that
lubricant needs changing, move two steps ahead. See bottom of this page for refill instructions.

Helpful Hint
If your gearboxes do NOT have the
Drain Extensions or the Site- Lubricant
Gauges it is strongly advised that Site-Gauge
you purchase and install them
during scheduled maintenance.
This will allow for much easier
gearbox maintenance in the future.

• If gearbox is NOT equipped with a “Site-Gauge”, move on to the next step.
• Remove the vent on the top of the Gearbox to allow air in therefore improving the flow of lubricant.

• Once the oil has been drained and refilled to the proper level, replace the bottom drain plug or the drain cap if
equipped with a drain tube using Teflon® tape on all plugs and caps.
See bottom of this page for refill instructions.

• Replace the vent.
