Checking of ZF Transmission Fluid Level
845B / 865B / 885B MODELS
WITH ZF TRANSMISSION
Each 10 hours or daily services
The transmission uid level must be checked with the ma-
chine parked on a leveled surface, with the engine run-
ning at low idle and at normal operation temperature (80°
to 90°C). With the engine stopped the uid level will be
above the normal level as the uid from the torque con-
verter and from the cooler will return to the transmission
sump.
For the cold uid level checking, run the engine at low idle
for 2 to 3 minutes and make sure that the level is above
the “COLD MIN” mark.
Check the transmission uid level weekly according to the
following procedure:
Park the machine on e level surface, apply the parking 1.
brake and start the engine,
With transmission in manual mode, move the shifting 2.
lever through all positions F-N-R, 1, 2, 3…,
Put the selector lever in Neutral and keep engine run-3.
ning at low idle.
If uid is cold, run the engine at low idle for 2 to 3 4.
minutes and make sure that the level is above the
“COLD MIN” mark.
Checking should be performed, preferably, with the 5.
uid temperature at operation normal range (80° a
90°C),
Loosen the dipstick, on the right side of the engine by 6.
turning it counterclockwise, removing it from its tube
and clean it,
Insert the dipstick back in its tube until contacts on the 7.
tube opening and pull it out again to perform the level
reading.
Insert the dipstick again and tighten it by turning clo-8.
ckwise.
CAUTION: The correct level is on “HOT”
mark interval.
If the level is below the “HOT” interval the level
must be completed. Refer to “Fluids and Lubri-
cants” chart for the correct type of uid, in this
manual. If uid level is above the “HOT” mark,
overheating of uid might occur.
