INSTRUCTION FOR REPLACEMENT AND VARIATION OF THE

OIL QUANTITY

OIL CHANGE:
Tha oil in the coupling must be changed for the first time after 400
working hours and subsequently after each 4000 working hours.
Proceed as follows to change the oil:
1) Rotate the coupling to bring the filling plug to its highest
position.
2) Unscrew and remove the filling plug.
3) Determine the correct filling level by rotating the coupling until
the filling hole corresponds to the current oil level
4) Completely drain the oil in the coupling by bringing the filling
hole to its lowest point.
5) Rotate the coupling again to bring the filling hole to correspond
to the filling level determined at point 3.
6) Pour in the new oil until the oil filling level is reached
The quantity and type of oil recommended is listed inTable 1.

VARIATION OF THE OIL LEVEL (Figures 1 and 2)

According to the type of use and the service required by the
coupling, sometimes the oil filling level must be modified by
increasing
or decreasing
quantity. by decreasing the oil
The following
results the
areoil achieved
quantity:
Slower and more gradual startings (Fig. 3)
Less absorption of startings current
Better protection to the transmission elements in the event of
overload
Higher slip value at running
IMPORTANT: an excessive decrease in the oil quantity can cause
the following problems:
The impossibility of rapidly accelerating the machine due to
insufficient torque
The overheating of the coupling, with consequent damage to
the oil seals
The following results are achieved by increasing the oil
quantity:

Faster startings (Fig. 3)

Lower slip value at running
Higher absortion of starting current during acceleration phases
Greater strain on transmission elements

IMPORTANT: an excessive oil quantity can cause the following

problems:
The overloading of the machine transmission motor
The overturning of the oil seal lip due to internal overpressure
The cracking of the coupling housing due to internal
overpressure caused by the lack of internal space for sufficient
oil expansion.
NOTE: the filling level at 60 must never be exceeded, an d a level
at 45 can be reached only in special cases and aft er previous
WESTCAR consultation.
