LUBRICATION

The Dodge Quantis MSM Gear Reducer is factory filled with ISO

220 EP type mineral oil to the correct oil level for the specified

mounting position. Changes in the mounting position will require

relocation of the oil level and vent plugs. Oil may have to be

added or drained to get to the correct oil level in the new mounting

position. See the Mounting Position Diagrams on Pages 4-9 for

the correct plug locations for various mounting positions of the

Quantis MSM unit. The oil level should be checked before startup

and frequently thereafter, preferably with the unit at operating

temperature.

The Dodge Quantis MSM gearbox is factory filled with lubricant.

The factory fill lubricant is suitable for use at all output speeds

and in ambient temperatures from +10°F to +105°F (-12°C to

+41°C). No initial oil change after break in is needed. The initial

factory oil fill is good for up to 10,000 hours or 3 years of service,

whichever comes first, in normal industrial environments.

Normal operating conditions are defined as steady loads not

exceeding normal ratings and running conditions as defined

in the Dodge Quantis MSM catalog. Oil quantity and levels

should be checked at frequent intervals, depending on usage.

Oil changes are required after 10000 operating hours, or three

years whichever comes first. The period can be extended to

20,000 operating hours, or six years, if a synthetic lubricant is

used. The lubricant should be changed more frequently if the

unit is operating in a hostile environment. For extremely hot, wet,

or dirty conditions consult Application Engineering at +1 864

284 5700. In those mountings that require grease lubrication for

specific bearings, relubricate the affected bearings every year

or every 2,000 operating hours, whichever comes first. Use a

grease with a lithium complex thickener and ISO 220 viscosity

mineral oil base lubricant. Use 15 pumps of grease for the first re-

greasing and 5 pumps of grease for subsequent re-greasing.

Dodge Quantis MSM Reducers are shipped with filling, oil level

and drain plugs in place. A separate breather is included with

the unit. Before putting the unit into service the filling plug must

be replaced with the breather. MW38 (2- and 3-stage gear units)

have one oil plug, ventilation is not necessary.

Approximate oil volumes for each Quantis MSM unit are listed

in the following tables in pints and liters. The oil volumes are

approximate and should not be used to determine correct

oil level. The correct oil level is defined as the bottom of the

appropriate oil level hole.

NOTE: Do not mix oils from different manufacturers. If a

change to another type or brand of oil is made, the existing

lubricant should be drained and the gearcase flushed with

a small quantity of the new lubricant before refilling with

the new lubricant. This is necessary to avoid possible

incompatibility problems between the two lubricants.

The list below gives approved alternative lubricants. This

is not an exclusive list. Equivalent lubricants from other

manufacturers may be used.

All reducers are factory filled according to the mounting position

indicated on the order. If the mounting position is changed from

the ordered mounting position, the oil level must be changed.

The oil volumes shown in the mounting position charts are

approximate. The correct oil level is determined by the oil level

hole in the housing except for size 38 reducers. If the reducer is

ordered with the standard mineral oil and the oil is later changed

to synthetic oil, it is recommended the shaft seals be changed to

Viton (FKM) material.

MSM is furnished with oil level, drain, and fill plugs except for the

size 38, which only has a fill plug. Before starting operation, the

breather must be located in the correct location.

Continued operation in cold ambient conditions requires special

modifications. Contact Dodge Industrial Inc. Gearing Application

Engineering, Simpsonville, SC for application assistance at +1

The density of the standard factory fill oil is 0.93 lbs/pint (1.98 lbs/

liter).
