11.4 Routine maintenance wheel gear for
track vehicles:
The operator is responsible for routine maintenance
and must carry out the following activities.
- After a brief operating period of about 100 hours
(breaking-in), change the oil in the gear unit.
- Check that there are no metallic parts with unusual
dimensions in the magnetic plug of the gear unit.
- Change the oil in the gear unit while it is hot so that
it is easier to drain.
- Wash the interior of the gear unit with a suitable
liquid that is recommended by the lubricant manu-
facturer.
- Subsequent oil changes will be made every 2000-
2500 hours of operation or, in any case, each year.
- Do not mix different types of oil.
- Periodically check the levels (about once a month)
and top up if necessary.
- The lubrication oil for the multi-disc brakes is the
same one that lubricates all gears in the gear unit,
therefore the brake fluid is automatically replaced
when the gear unit oil is replaced.
ATTENTION: when checking the oil levels in wheel
gear units equipped with a multi-disk brake and
hydraulic motor, if the levels have risen, this means
that oil is penetrating either from the brake seals
or from the motor rotary seal. Contact the "Brevini
Service Department".
- For each unit it is recommended to keep a chart
that will be duly filled out and updated each time
maintenance is performed.
