6.2 Gearbox oil
The gearbox is located to the front of the machine.
To drain and add oil to the gearbox, carry out the following procedure:
WARNING: Ensure the tractor is shut down before changing oil
Ensure that the tractor engine has been shut down, the key has been
removed from the ignition and the brakes have been applied before
changing oil.
NOTE: Oil must be drained & filled after the first 5 hours of use
After the first 5 hours of use, the gearbox oil must be completely drained
and filled with SAE 80W/90 grade oil.
ENVIRONMENT: Safe disposal of oil
Respect the environment! Never spill oil or grease on the ground, never
pour them down the drain and never discard them where they can pollute
the environment. Always take waste materials to a recycling centre.
1. Remove the drain plug (B), using a 17 mm spanner, and
drain oil into a suitable container. This is best carried out
while the oil is still warm, i.e. soon after use. Replace the
drain plug (B), tighten and dispose of waste oil
responsibly.
2. Remove the breather (A) and plug (C) using a 17 mm
spanner. Add approx. 5 litres of SAE 80W/90 grade oil
or until oil begins to flow from the sight-level hole (C)
when the correct quantity of oil is added
3. Replace the level plug (C) and breather (A) and tighten
carefully.
After this, replace the oil once per season or once per 500
hours, whichever comes first.
NOTE: Do not overfill gear oil
Do not overfill the oil, as this will result in overheating and oil leakage.
