• Position the wheel ensuring the oil filler plug (1) is at the top.
• Thoroughly clean the area around the oil filler plug (1).
WARNING! Risk of scalding by hot gear oil escaping under pressure.
• To reduce the pressure, carefully open the oil filler plug (1) from a lateral position.
• Mount the oil filler plug (1).
• Position the wheel ensuring that the lower edge of the filler plug (1) is approx. 40 mm below

and use a measuring tape to measure the 40 mm.
• Thoroughly clean the area around the oil filler plug (1).
