Oil Levels

‘T’ Box

The Airseeder can be fitted with up to five (depending on the number of bins)

angle drive gearboxes commonly known as ‘T’ boxes. Proper maintenance of the

‘T’ boxes will ensure the metering drive system remains in good order throughout

the sowing season.

The oil level in each ‘T’ Box

should be checked at the

start of the sowing season.

Remove the filler plug and

check that the oil level is

approximately half way

between the base of the ‘T’

box and the filler plug.

If necessary, top up with

SAE 85W 140 oil.

Zero Max Drives

The number of Zero Max drives fitted is dependant on the number of bins eg.

each bin requires a Zero Max drive to operate the metering unit.

The ‘Zero Max’ drive is

factory lubricated and

mostly maintenance free.

The oil level should be

checked at the start of the

sowing season. Remove the

filler plug and check that the

oil level is at the mid point

of the upper most shaft as

shown.

If oil must be added use

only SAE 40 grade detergent

based engine oil.

Overfilling the ‘T’

resulting in seal
