See illustration. Remove the oil check plug. Oil should
flow from the hole. If low, remove the oil fill plug and
add oil until it flows from the check hole. Replace the
plug, wait 10 to 15 minutes and repeat the fill proce-
dure. Continue this process until the differential is full.
See the Lubrication chapter for the proper oil specifi-
cation. Replace the check and fill plugs.
Planetary Hubs
NOTE: The planetary hubs can be checked with-
out jacking up the machine.
See illustration below. The planetary hubs have one
plug each used for filling and draining. For checking
the level and filling, position the wheel until the oil
level arrow is horizontal. Remove the plug. If oil does
not run out, add oil until it overflows. Check the
remaining hubs the same way. Refer to the oil specifi-
cations found in the Lubrication chapter of this manu-
al.
CHANGING FUEL FILTER
The frequency of filter replacement will be determined
by the cleanliness of available fuel, the care used in
storing fuel supplies and the operating conditions in
which the machine is used.
NOTE: For proper replacement procedures refer
to the engine manual for your machine.
After fuel filter replacement, bleed the air out of the
fuel system following the procedures in the engine
manual.
Fuel Bleeding Procedures
When the fuel filter is removed and replaced, or the
engine runs out of fuel, air must be bled from the sys-
tem. Refer to the engine manual for proper bleeding
procedures.
If the engine still will not start, consult your authorized
engine dealer.
NOTE: Only an authorized engine dealer can
perform warranty service on the engine.
Diesel Fuel Injectors
Whenever faulty or plugged injectors are indicated, see
your authorized engine dealer.
Diesel Injection Pump Timing
Whenever injection pump timing, or other pump ser-
vice is indicated by abnormal engine operation, contact
your engine dealer.
WARNING
NEVER service the fuel system while smok-
ing, while near an open flame, or after the
engine has been operated and is hot.
Plug in fill and
check position.
WARNING
Escaping diesel fuel under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin. Before
applying pressure to the fuel system, BE
SURE all connections are tight and lines and
hoses are not damaged. Use a piece of wood
or cardboard to search for suspected leaks. If
injured by escaping fuel, see a doctor familiar
with this type of injury at once or gangrene
may result.
