If grease is added without removing the outlet plug, it cause damage to the seal of reduction gear and grease will go inside the motor and may damage it. It is absolutely necessary to remove the plug.

 

n Grease Replacement

 

(1)   Remove the AIR VENT plug to discharge the pressure inside and close it again.

(Warning: Grease may splash because of the pressure inside. Always wear protective goggles.)
