Check Axle Housing Lubricant Level
It is necessary to climb under the crane to check the axle
housing lubricant. Be sure engine is shut off, the ignition key

under the crane.

plug (Figure 6-26 or Figure 6-27) and remove it.
2. Check the lubricant level. It should be even with the
bottom of the plug hole.
3. If necessary, add the proper type of oil (specified in
Section 8 of this manual) until the oil is even with the
bottom of the plug hole.
4. Repeat the steps for the other axle.
