Additional Notes regarding Machine Maintenance:
1) Engine
Oil Grade and Type along with Additional Engine maintenance is described in the Engine
Owner’s Manual supplied with each Curbilder. Follow additional maintenance items as
recommended by the Manufacturer. Use engine motor oil to lubricate engine throttle
pivot/wear points.
2) Bearings
Grease Bearings as recommended with NLGI No. 2 Extreme Pressure (EP), Lithium Base
Grease. Grease all bearings with a handgun to avoid seal damage. Apply enough lube
that grease just begins to leak past seals.
3) Gearbox
Use either 90 Weight Mineral Gear Oil meeting ISO 220 or 75W-90 Multigrade Synthetic
Gear Oil in the gearbox.
a) Miller Curbilders have used two (2) different gearbox designs. The Gearbox used on
machines manufactured up to August, 2011 (up to Serial Number J13861) are shown in
the drawing below. This Gearbox requires two (2) pints of Gear Oil. To inspect Lube
Level remove inspection port plug as shown in drawing. Fill gearbox to level of this hole.
Add oil if required through the Breather/Fill Port located on the top angled surface of the
gearbox near the Safety Torque Arm Assembly. When replacing Gear Oil, remove one of
the two drain plugs at the bottom of the gearbox. Drain the Gear oil when it is hot. Flush
the inside of the gearbox with Lubriplate Syn Flush or equal before adding new oil.
