What type of oil?
This is a Shurco 1704750 12V Motor. Operates a tarp on a 39 foot trailer. The recommended circuit breaker is 40a, uses 6ga wire.
There are two sections to the motor. The section closest to the electrical terminals is the electric motor. The section near the shaft is a housing filled with oil. They're joined by a splined shaft, which also seals the oil from leaking into the motor.
The picture is the sample i took out. I have some 75w90 synthetic gear oil on hand, but l figured it be best to ask before i use that. I'll measure what i take out and replace the same amount through the fill plug.
Anyone know what should be used? Thanks guys!
EDIT: Found that the section with oil has a direct drive and planetary gear design.
