Operators manual Industrias America Shredder

Hello, can anyone tell me if this company has operator's manuals AND if not, what weight oil do we use in the gear box?
Thanks!

Just use regular 80-90 in it. Or better yet, I've gone to using 0 wt corn head grease in all of my gear boxes.

 

[old and tired]

Any gear oil will work, if the bottom seal is leaking and gear oil leaks out, then use Corn Head Grease packed into the gear box...

The bottom seal doesn't have to be leaking to use corn head grease in gear boxes. It's much better lubrication and was designed for gear boxes. I wish manufacturers would start using and recommending it more. I think it's more expensive, is why they don't.
