Perform the following checks while the lubrication system is operating:


A. Check the oil pressure gauge. It should indicate 10 to 30 psi (69 to 207 kPa).
1. If pressure is too high:
a. Check chain oil spray nozzles and tubes for blockage
b. Adjust flow control valve at inlet end of spray pipe header and open further.
c. Check for flow at the bearing housings.
d. Adjust pump bypass relief valve.
2. If gauge shows no pressure:
a. Check oil level in reservoir and add oil if necessary.
b. Check the pump suction strainer and clean if necessary by washing in a
suitable cleaning solution.
c. If all spray nozzles and bearings are receiving adequate oil, check pressure
transducer tubing for damages or blockages.
d. Check lube system relief valve. Turn the valve inwards to adjust pressure.
B. Check all spray nozzles to ensure oil holes are open and delivering oil. Spray nozzles
are located in all drive chain cases.

NOTE: National Oilwell Varco recommends the use of ISO 150 gear oil for warmer
climates and an ISO all season gear oil for colder climates.

Use premium all-purpose grease such as NLGI EP2 Lithium based grease where grease
is required unless another type is specifically recommended. All-purpose EP2 Lithium-
based grease is recommended because of its excellent water resistance and operating
temperature range.
