All right angle gearboxes are factory tested prior to shipment. They include the correct amount of oil unless specified by the customer to be shipped dry. Shaft bearings are splash lubricated and partially submerged in oil when the right angle gearbox is mounted horizontally. After installation, verify correct oil level by oil immersion lens. If no oil immersion lens is provided, determine level by any appropriate method. In general, the oil level should be approximately half the depth of the right angle gearbox for horizontal mounting, or to the shaft centerlines, if mounted other than horizontally.
Caution
1. Prior to operation, make sure the right angle gearbox contains the correct amount of oil. If under-filled or over-filled, damage to the right angle gearbox or injury to personnel may result.
2. For right angle gearboxs operating in an ambient temperatures of -20 Deg. C and +85 Deg. C, special temperatures, please contact Jacton engineers.
3. right angle gearbox lubricant is medium duty industrial gear oil. When low speed less than 100Rpm, optional grease lubricant.
4. Do not combine synthetic with non-synthetic oils in the right angle gearboxes.
