Has anyone got advice on how much damage is caused in our wheelhead?
I switched on the machine last week and the wheel stalled after a couple minutes and the motor cut out, noticed the oil had dropped very low,
I managed to get my manager to buy the proper oil the replace it, filled it up today and started the wheel, it stalled straight away and I noticed The new and very thin oil was leaking heavily out the seal behind the wheel.
So apart from the obvious seal that needs replacing, will the bearings be toast too? The motor is fine as the overload cut out worked as it should.
( oh and by the way, when I told my manager about the problem, he turned round and said “that must be why I put hydraulic oil in before, so it didn’t run out so fast”, facepalm. )
