Analysis & Recommended action:
Heating of this gearbox shaft is higher than any other unit after less than 1 hour of operation. Before going to
the next field the gearboxes greasing level should be checked. Continue normal operation and schedule
another scan in 1 week. If levels continue to rise vibration analysis should be performed on the gearbox.
