RIGID AXLE AND GEARBOX - OIL
LEVEL
Park the machine on a level and firm surface.
Block the wheels of the axle 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.
DIFFERENTIAL AND GEARBOX - OIL LEVEL
Clean the area around screw plug (1) of axle and
screw plug (2) of gearbox.
Unscrew the screw plugs (1) and (2) slowly, until the
inner pressure is completely released. Only after
this operation unscrew the plugs completely. The oil
level must be flush with the hole edge. If necessary,
top up oil through the hole.
Retighten screw plugs (1) and (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.
