The filler, level and drain caps are located in the
central part of the front and rear differential axle (fig.
150579-1):
When checking the oil level it is necessary to:
• Prepare the vehicle in the maintenance position.
• Place a container for the oil recovery under the
level plug “2” to collect any leaks.
• Open the level cap “2”. In the best conditions oil
must seep out from the hole.
• If necessary, open the cap “1” and top up to make
oil seep out from the level cap “2”.
• Put back the caps and tighten down.
When replacing the oil it is necessary to:
• Prepare the vehicle in the maintenance position.
• Place a container for the oil recovery under the
drain plug “3” to collect any leaks.
• Open the filler cap "1" and then the drain cap "3".
• Drain off all the oil.
• Close the drain plug “3”.
• Load new oil from the filler cap "1", up to make oil
seep out from the level cap “2”.
Put back the caps and tighten down.
WARNING
Replace oil in the differential axles after
the first 100 hours of use.
Failure to replace the running-in oil will
compromise the correct operation of the
differential axles
