NOTE:
• Check fluid level with engine running at 750 rpm idle and the oil at 180 to 200 ° F (82 to 93° C). Do not attempt an oil level check
with cold oil. To bring the oil temperature to this range, it is necessary to either work the crane or stall the converter. Converter
stall should be accomplished by engaging shift lever in forward high range with the brakes applied and then accelerating the
engine to half or three-quarter throttle. Hold the stall until the required converter temperature is reached and stabilized.
Do not operate the converter at stall condition for longer than 30 seconds at one time. Shift to neutral for 15 seconds and repeat
the procedure until the desired temperature is reached. Excessive temperature, i.e, 250° F (120° C) maximum will cause damage
to transmission clutches, fluid, converter and seals.
• Drain and fill with the oil at 150 to 200° F (65 to 93° C).
• Transmission filters are located on the outside left hand frame in the area of the hydraulic oil cooler.
• To add fluid:
a. Fill to FULL mark on dipstick
b. Run engine at 750 rpm to prime torque converter and lines
c. Check oil level with engine running at 750 rpm and oil at 180 to 200° F (82 to 93° C (180 to 200° F). Add oil to bring
oil level to FULL mark on dipstick.
