Maintenance
5.9 Gearbox lubrication system
If the gearbox oil level is too low or if an oil change is overdue, this can cause
Damage to the gearbox
☞ Have the oil changed by an authorised workshop
– see chapter 5.15 Maintenance plan (overview) on page 5-35
Checking the oil level
Check the oil level once a day.
We recommend checking the oil level before putting the machine into operation.
After switching off the machine, wait at least 5 minutes before checking.
Checking the oil level
☞ Proceed as follows:
• Park the machine on level ground
• Switch off the engine!
• Let the gearbox cool down
• Open the engine cover or servicing lid B (cab option)
• Clean the area around the oil dipstick with a lint-free cloth
• Pull out oil dipstick A
• Wipe it with a lint-free cloth
• Push it back in as far as possible
• Withdraw it and read off the oil level
☞ However if necessary, fill up oil at the latest when the oil reaches the MIN mark on the
oil dipstick
