TM 5-3895-374-24-2 LUBRICATION Use.    a  high   grade   petroleum   base,   rust   and oxidation  inhibited  (R  &  O)  gear  oil-see  tables.    Follow instructions  on  reducer  nameplate,  warning  tags,  and  in the installation manual. Under   average   industrial   operating   conditions, the  lubricant  should  be  changed  every  2500  hours  of operation   or   every   6   months,   whichever   occurs   first. Drain  reducer  and  flush  with  kerosene,  clean  magnetic drain  plug  and  refill  to  proper  level  with  new  lubricant. Check oil level regularly. CAUTION Extreme  pressure  (EP)  lubricants  are not recommended for average operating     conditions.          Failure     to observe these precautions could result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment. CAUTION Too  much  oil  will  cause  overheating and too little will result in gear failure. Check oil level regularly. Failure  to  observe  these  precautions could result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment. Under   extreme   operating   conditions,   such   as rapid  rise  and  fall  of  temperature,  dust,  dirt,  chemical particles,   chemical   fumes,   or   oil   sump   temperatures above  200°F,  the  oil  should  be  changed  every  1  to  3 months depending on severity of conditions. CAUTION Do   not   use   oils   containing   slippery additives such as graphite or molybdenum disulphide in the reducer     when     backstop     is     used. These   additives   will   destroy   sprag action.        Failure    to    observe    these precautions   could   result   in   damage to, or destruction of, the equipment. NOTE: Pour point of lubricant selected should  be   at  least 10°C lower than expected minimum ambient starting temperature. Special lubricants may be required for food and drug industry applications where contact with the product being     manufactured     may     occur.          Consult     a lubrication    manufacturers    representative    for    his recommendation.
