When the amount of grease in the compartment becomes too large, the agitation loss becomes large, thereby accelerating grease deterioration.Grease deterioration can cause damage to the pinion gear of the swing drive and swing internal gear. Not enough grease will result in poor gear lubrication.

The depth of the grease should be 13 to 19 mm (0.50 to 0.75 inch). The capacity of the pan is 6 L (1.6 US gal or 1.3 imp gal) or 5.5 kg (12.1 lb).Add grease, as needed. Remove grease, as needed. Too much grease will result in the deterioration of the grease that is caused by excessive movement of the grease. Too little grease will result in poor lubrication of the swing gear.4. Check for contamination and for discolored grease.
