RIGID AXLE AND GEARBOX - OIL
CHANGE
Park the machine on a level and firm surface.
Block the steering axle wheels by placing chocks
under them.
Raise the machine with the levelling blade or the
working attachment until the wheels of the rigid axle
are clear of the ground and turn freely.
Shut off the engine.
Place the machine in a safe condition.
GEARSHIFT BOX - OIL CHANGE
Clean the area around screw plugs (1) and (2).
Place a container under the gearshift box screw
plug (1) to collect old oil.
Unscrew the screw plug (2) slowly, until the inner
pressure is completely released. Only after this
operation, unscrew the screw plug (2) completely.
Unscrew the screw plug (1).
Oil flows out from the plug (1) hole.
Screw up the screw plug (1).
Fill new oil through the plug (2) hole.
The oil level must be flush with the hole lower edge.
Screw up the screw plug (2).
S WARNING S
The axle and the gearbox may also be hot after a
long journey.
Let the axle and the gearshift box cool down and
wear working gloves.
The axle and the gearshift box may be slightly over
pressurized, 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.
