Reference: Maintenance Interval Section of the Operation & Maintenance Manual. See chart below for form numbers:

The drum drive gear reducer used on soil compactors, and the propel gearboxes used on asphalt compactors, generate a large amount of contaminants during the first 250 hours of operation. Oil samples taken from the gearboxes will generally show a high iron PPM count. This initial break-in wear is considered normal.

If the initial 250 hour oil change is not done, these contaminant particles will cause accelerated wear and can reduce the service life of the gearbox.

Make every effort to complete the initial 250 hour, and 1000 hour, gearbox oil changes to the machines listed above.

NOTE: If the gearbox oil is changed before the initial 250 hour interval, the oil should be sampled and changed again at 250 hours.
