utes at idle speed.

Gearcase Lubricant
IMPORTANT: Always check the fill level of the
gearcase lubricant prior to removing drain/fill plug.
A tie strap can be used to check lubricant level.
Examine drained lubricant for excessive metal
fragments and for any indication of water in oil
(cloudy or milky appearance). Lubricant that is
black in color with a burnt odor indicates worn,
overheated oil. Pressure and vacuum check gear-
cases with apparent leaks. Repair all leaks.
Refer to INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE on p. 38 for service frequency and
recommended lubricants.
Refer to LUBRICANT on p. 122 for complete
