PLANETARY OIL CHANGE
After the initial 50-hour break-in change, the
planetary oil should be changed every 1,000
hours or annually, which ever comes first.
Before starting the procedure, the planetary case
must be cleaned thoroughly. It is crucial that no
dirt falls into the case when removing the plugs.
In the filter service compartment of the POSI-
TRACK, there is a kit which will make chang-
ing the planetary oil easier. This kit includes a
fitting and a hose.
There are two plugs, which are 180° from each
other. One is for draining the oil, the other is for
filling the oil. It doesn’t matter which plug is
used for which part of the job.
1. Rotate the sprocket until one of the plugs is
lined up with the u-shaped notch at the top of
the bearing plate. This will also line up the
other plug with the hole in the bottom of the
bearing plate. (Fig. 53)
2. Attach the hose to the fitting and be prepared
to insert the fitting into the drain hole. Remove
the drain plug through the bottom hole and
quickly insert the fitting with the hose. (Fig. 54)
NOTE
Drive the POSI-TRACK for 10 to 15 minutes
Before changing the planetary oil. This will
warm up the oil and allow it to drain more thor-
oughly.
