For optimal performance and longevity of the HECO, Electric Gearbox only for Full Conveyor, 3-5HP, we recommend using SAE 85W-140 Multi-Grade gear oil that meets API-GL5 and API-MT1 service standards. This oil is specifically designed to ensure maximum speed reducer life. As an alternative, SAE 90W gear oil, also meeting API-GL5 and API-MT1 standards, can be used. For horizontal shafts, fill the speed reducer to half. If the shaft is vertical and facing downwards, fill it to the upper gear set's centerline before motor installation. If the shaft faces upwards, fill the speed reducer completely, ensuring a fluid level at or above the top shaft bearing using a "stand pipe" or small reservoir.
