FRONT AND REAR AXLES
The differential and planetary ends of each axle share a common oil level.
Circulation of lubricant between wheel ends and the center bowl is partially
restricted by gears, bearings, washers and other components. The lubricant
MUST bechecked asspecified; and the lubricant MUST be installed correctly,
especially if the machine is to be used immediately after an axle oil refill.
Oil Level
Every 250 hours check the oil level in each axle.
The oil level can be checked at either wheel end of an axle. Park the
machine on a LEVEL surface, so that the oil level lines on one wheel end are
parallel to the ground. Remove the oil fill plug. The oil level should be even with
the bottom of the plug opening.
NOTE:
If one planetary is lower than the other, check oil level at center
bowl fill plug.
Oil Change
Change the axle oil every 1000 hours of operation or each year.
Draining
1. Park the machine on a level surface with the drain plug on each wheel end
in the bottom position. If necessary, jack up the axle and move the wheels
into position by hand.
