Axle Planetary Hubs
The hubs have one plug each used for draining and fill-
ing (see illustration).
1. Position the wheel until the oil level arrow points
down. Remove the drain/fill plug and allow the oil
to drain out. Replace the plug.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT discharge oil onto
ground. Catch and dispose of per local waste dis-
posal regulations.
2. Re-position the hub so the oil level arrow is hori-
zontal. Fill with fresh oil as specified in the
LUBRICATION chapter. When the oil runs out,
install the drain/fill plug. Repeat this procedure on
the three remaining hubs.
