Drive Chain Lubrication
The final drive to the wheels is by chains. A chain casing on
each side of the machine houses two chains, one to the front
wheel and one to the rear wheel. The chains run in an oil
bath.
Checking the Oil Levels - for interval see Service Schedule
1 Park the machine on level ground.
2 Stop the engine.
3 On the left side of the machine, remove inspection plug
A and check that the oil level is up to the bottom of the
aperture.
4 If necessary, top up through the aperture using the
recommended oil. Wipe up any oil spillage.
5 Check that the washer on plug A is undamaged. Replace
if necessary.
6 Clean plug A and its aperture before refitting. Do not
overtighten or you could strip the threads of the housing.
