Cold Oil Level Check
Before you start the engine, check the
transmission oil level in the sight
gauge. If the oil level is below the
arrow, add oil to raise the oil level up to
the arrow. See Transmission Service
Specifications in this manual for the
correct type of oil.
Warm Oil Level Check
Check the transmission oil level every
50 hours of operation when the oil is at
operating temperature. Do the
following.
1. Park the machine on a level
surface.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL.
4. Run the engine at idle speed.
5. If the oil level is at or below the
ADD mark, put the transport/
service link in the LOCKED
position and add oil to raise the oil
level up to the FULL mark. See
Transmission Service
Specifications in this manual for the
correct oil.
Oil Change, Filter
Replacement, and
Breather Cleaning
Change the transmission oil and
replace the filter after the first 100
hours of operation with a new machine
or if the transmission has been
replaced or rebuilt. Then, do the above
service and clean the breather every
1000 hours or operation.
If possible, drain the oil when the oil is
at operating temperature. More
contamination is removed when the oil
is at operating temperature.
1. Put the transport/service link in the
LOCKED position, apply the
parking brake, and stop the engine.
2. Clean the area around the filters,
drain plug, breather, and filler tube.
3. Have a container that will hold
approximately 29 U.S. Quarts (27.4
litres).
