Rohloff E-14 SPEEDHUB 500/14 Notice Originale page 70

Oil change
To rinse the hub properly, ride approx. 1km or turn the wheel by hand using the cranks
for approx. 3min whilst simultaniously swiching between gears #3 and #5. In these
gears all planetary gear sets are in use, making sure that the cleaning fluid is well
rinsed through in order to thin out the old oil for easier removal.
TIP
It is important to protect the brake disk/ pads (if mounted) with a clean cloth to minimize
the possiblity that oil could spray out onto them.
Remove the drain screw (3mm allen key) and fit the
filling tube and syringe. Turn the wheel, so that the
filling point is underneath the hub. Wait approx. 15
mins with the wheel in this position, then use the
syringe to draw out the old fluid. Remove the sy-
ringe and filling tube and pour the fluid into the 50ml
cleaning oil bottle.
Draw 12.5ml SPEEDHUB OIL into the syringe and
insert this into the hub. Draw out approx. 12,5ml of
air to keep the pressure correct inside and there-
fore, avoid oil seeping back out, when removing the
filling tube.
Fit the new oil drain screw and tighten correctly (Al-
len Key 3mm, tightening torque 0.5Nm/4in.lbs.). As
long as the thread sealant is not worn, then the old
oil drain screw may be used repeatedly.
