Lubrication chart
Observe when selecting oil for use in REINTJES gearboxes:
• If the oil temperature is lower than
+ 10 °C / 50 °F (SAE 30)
+ 15 °C / 59 °F (SAE 40)
a sump heating installation is required (special equipment must be fitted to
the gearbox).
• Lubricants approved by REINTJES meet all operational requirements and
need no further additives. Further additives may even be harmful.
• Observe the manufacturer's safety data sheet for safely handling the lubri-
cant.
Observe when changing oil:
• Observe the oil change intervals and oil analysis intervals specified in the
operating manual.
• Replace filter elements when changing oil. Clean the venting filter thoroughly.
Carry out a first check for contamination approx. 12 hours after
commissioning.
• The oil level must be between the dipstick markings. The operating oil vol-
ume indicated on the type plate or the drawing of installation is a reference
value.
• For flushing and cleaning of the gearbox use the operating oil. Remove
cleaning oil from gearbox, oil filter and heat exchanger as thoroughly as
possible.
• The gearbox is filled with VCI preservation oil when delivered. When the
gearbox is put into operation, drain the VCI preservation oil and fill in
operating oil. Any small amount of VCI preservation oil remaining may be
mixed with the operating oil.
NOTICE
The oil types listed in the lubrication chart are defined by the responsibility of
the oil companies. The oils are suitable for the use in gearboxes and are in
accordance with the REINTJES specification. The oil companies are respon-
sible to keep the compositions of the oils identical as specified for this oil
chart.
REINTJES is neither liable for correctness of these data nor for any amend-
ments occurring.
If other oils shall be used please contact REINTJES first.
REINTJES does not accept responsibility for any damages due to use of
unsuitable oil.
NOTICE
Danger of hydrolysis
EAL lubricants are as a rule based on synthetically produced esters. There is al-
ways a danger of the used EAL lubricants to hydrolyse.
Minimise the water content of the EAL lubricant for example by using adsorb-
ers (special equipment).
Observe the special information for EAL lubricants on oil change, flushing,
and shutdown periods in the REINTJES operation description BV2379
“Guidelines for changing oil”.
Contact REINTJES service when using EAL lubricants for the first time.
