STEERING AXLE - OIL LEVEL
Park the machine on a level and firm surface. Block
the wheels of the rigid axle by placing chocks under
them.
Raise the machine with the levelling blade or the
working equipment until the wheels of the steering
axle are clear of the ground and turn freely.
Shut off the engine.
Place the machine in a safe condition.
DIFFERENTIAL - OIL LEVEL
Clean the area around screw plug (1).
Unscrew the screw plug slowly, until the inner pres-
sure is completely released.
Only after this operation, unscrew the screw plug (1)
completely.
Oil level should be flush with the plug hole.
If necessary, top up oil through the hole.
Screw up the screw plug (1).
S WARNING S
The axle and the differential box may also be hot
after a long journey.
Leave the axle and differential box to cool down
and wear working gloves.
The axle and differential may be slightly over pres-
surized, so turn the control plug carefully, just far
enough to release the excess pressure (audible
hissing sound).
Collect escaping oil and discard without polluting
the environment.
