MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE
DISCONNECT SWITCH INDICATING THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT BEFORE
BEGINNING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE.
LUBRICATION
Planetary
The planetary oil should be checked periodically. To check, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER
SUPPLY and remove the Drip Cup-Splash Guard, which is secured by three screws. Remove the fill
plug (Fig. 6). Oil should be even with the bottom of the fill plug hole. If it is not, slowly add the
recommended planetary lubricant until it is. Replace the fill plug and the Drip Cup-Splash Guard.
Fig. 6
A drain plug (Fig. 6) is located on the bottom of the planetary. Should draining become necessary,
remove the Drip Cup-Splash Guard and place a suitable catch pan under the drain plug. Remove the
drain plug, allow the oil to completely drain, and replace the drain plug. Remove the fill plug and pour
in 6 fluid ounces of the recommended planetary lubricant. Replace the Fill Plug and the Drip Cup-
Splash Guard. Contact your local Hobart Service Office for the recommended planetary lubricant.
Planetary Seal
Occasionally, the planetary seal (Fig. 6) may become dry and begin to squeak. To correct this, work
a little lubrication under the lip of the seal.
