FILL THE 2000 SERIES TRANSMISSION WITH OIL
AFTER INSTALLING TRANSMISSION IN VEHICLE:
IMPORTANT: The oil level is always checked with
the engine running at idle speed, the
Shift-O-Matic in neutral, and
transmission oil temperature 71—
93.5°C (160—200°F). Do not overfill
transmission. This will cause
overheating. Damage to the
transmission will result.
In some applications that use an air to oil heat
exchanger, the transmission temperature will be below
the temperature recommended for checking oil level.
Due to the expansion of oil as it heats up it is
important that the oil level be checked at the
recommended temperature.
• Park machine on level surface.
• Engage parking brake, block wheels.
• Put transmission in neutral.
• Remove oil fill plug (refer to “2000 SERIES
TRANSMISSION COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION”
group 10).
• Begin filling operation by adding 15.1 liters (4 gal) of
recommended oil.
• Start the engine, run at idle speed to fill oil lines.
• Check oil level on dip stick with engine running at
idle speed.
• Check oil level when the transmission is above the
temperature of 71—93.5°C (160—200°F).
NOTE: For checking oil levels, the recommended oil
temperature is 71—93.5
°
C (160—200
°
F).
Fill transmission to the full mark on dipstick with
engine running at idle speed.

operator can aid in preventative maintenance by
reporting signs of leaks or malfunctions.
The transmission operates in and by oil, most of the
maintenance is concerned with oil replenishment and
oil cleanliness. The type of service and operating
conditions shall determine the maintenance interval.
NOTE: Engage park brake before checking oil level.
OIL LEVEL
IMPORTANT: The transmission should always be
in the neutral position before
starting the engine, or when the
vehicle is parked and the engine is
running.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL DAILY
• Set parking brake.
• Put the gear selector lever in neutral position.
• Operate the engine at idle speed.
• Heat oil temperature to 71—93.5°C (160—200°F).
NOTE: For checking oil levels, the recommended oil
temperature is 71—93.5
°
C (160—200
°
