FUEL
Remove the fuel filler cap and inspect the fuel level in the

(Figure 20) and fill with industrial synthetic gear oil
until the correct oil level is reached. Refer to Table 3
or Table 4 for the correct oil type. Replace the drain/fill
plug when finished.
3. If there is too much oil in the gearbox, remove the
