1. Clean the area around the fill plug, and remove it
from the side of the case.
2. Using your finger or a bent pipe cleaner, see if
the fluid is level with the fill opening. See Fig. 1.
3. If the fluid level is low, check the transmission for
leaks, and correct as needed.
4. If needed, add the recommended fluid, until it is
level with the lower edge of the fill opening. See
Table 1 for approved transmission lubricants.
5. Clean the fill plug, then install it in the transmis-
sion. Tighten the plug as follows:
• 25 to 35 lbf·ft (34 to 48 N·m) for Eaton
Fuller transmissions with 3/4-inch pipe
threads.
• 60 to 75 lbf·ft (81 to 102 N·m) for Eaton
Fuller transmissions with 1-1/4-inch pipe
threads.
• 44 lbf·ft (60 N·m) for all ZF Meritor
FreedomLine automated transmissions.
• 35 to 50 lbf·ft (48 to 67 N·m) for all other
Meritor transmissions.
