Checking of oil level in gearbox

Remove the dipstick from the housing of the gearbox.

Clean the dipstick and position it again into the opening,

so as to verify the level of the lubricant.

If the level is too low, fresh lubricant must be added

through the opening for the dipstick. See page 14 for

the specications of the lubrication oil for your gearbox.

As regards the maintenance of the gearbox, please con-

sult the owner’s manual, provided by the manufacturer

in question..

Draining the oil from the gearbox

First remove either the dipstick or the ller cap, depen-

dent on the gearbox model. Position the hose of the spe-

cial sump pump into the pipe of the dipstick. Extract the

oil from the gearbox by quickly pushing down the grip of

the sump pump and then pull it slowly upwards.

If there is sufcient space below the bottom of the gear-

box, you may also remove the drain plug of the gearbox,

for letting the oil out. In both cases collect the oil in a

bowl and treat it in accordance with the environmental

directives in your country.

Adding oil

Fill the gearbox with its lubricant through the hole of the

dipstick, or via the ller cap, if available (dependent on

the model of gearbox). Please consult the owner’s ma-

nual, provided by the manufacturer in question.
