Planned Maintenance and Lubrication
Access to the Drive Axle
The best method to use for reaching
the drive axle check points (oil
level/filler plug and brake inspection
plugs) is dependent upon the style of
upright, carriage and attachments on
your truck. One method is to raise the
upright carriage to provide easy access
to the drive axle.
• Apply the parking brake and block
the wheels.
• Be sure to put blocking under the
carriage and upright rails.

Transaxle Fluid Level Check
• Check the transaxle fluid level with
the:
1. Truck on a level surface
2. Transmission in "NEUTRAL"
3. Engine idling
4. Oil at operating temperature
• Remove the fluid level inspection
plug located in the front surface of the
drive axle center housing (all models).
• The oil level is correct (full) when
the oil reaches the lower edge of the
plug opening, or can be measured on
the dipstick portion of the plug.
• After adding oil to the transaxle,
wait a few minutes until the oil has
distributed evenly throughout the unit,
keep the oil level at the lower edge of
the inspection opening. Do not overfill.
• Be sure to inspect the seal on the
inspection plug. Replace as needed.
