Maintenance
Turner Shuttle Gearbox Lubrication
To ensure proper lubrication and operating temperatures it is
most important that appropriate lubricants are used and that the
correct oil level is maintained.
Oil Level Checking
The oil level should be checked daily and corrected if necessary.
The oil level must be checked with the engine idling and with the
transmission oil cold. In this condition the oil level should fall
between the Max and Min marks on the dipstick.
At normal operating temperature, ( 80ºC.) the oil level will rise
to 20 - 30 mm above the Max. mark on the dipstick.
Do not overfill the transmission as this may result in oil
breakdown due to excessive heat and aeration from the churning
action of the gears.
Early breakdown of the oil will result in heavy sludge deposits
that block oil ports and build up on splines and bearings. Over
filling may also cause oil leaks.
Oil Changes
An initial oil change and flush is recommended after the
transmission is placed in actual service. This change should be
made at any time following 50 hours in service , but should not
exceed 100 hours. An oil change and flush should be scheduled
for every subsequent 750 hours of operation. When changing
the oil it is essential to renew the oil filter and clean out the
suction strainer. The object in draining the oil is to eliminate
possible bearing surface abrasion and attendant wear. Minute
particles of metal, the result of normal wear in service are
deposited in and circulated with the oil. Oil changes are best
carried out when the transmission is thoroughly warm - NOT
HOT!
Caution : Towing
To prevent oil starvation and possible seizure of the
transmission whilst towing vehicle, it is imperative that the
propeller shafts are disconnected.
