10.12 Transmission oil (not for EMC machines)
10.12.1 Quantity and types
The transmission of the machine is filled with approx. 5.5 l transmission oil.
All oils that meet the requirements of CLP 460 DIN 51517 (SAE 140 GL-4) are
suitable for filling the transmission. Some of these oils are listed in the following
table:
10.12.2 Checking the oil level, changing the oil
The transmission does not need to be lubricated under normal operating condi-
tions. However, we recommend changing the oil after 10 years.
A shorter oil change interval is recommended if fertilisers with a high dust content
are used and the spreader is frequently cleaned.
Requirements:
The machine must be in a horizontal position to check the oil and to fill the oil.
To drain the oil, the machine must be in slightly tilted position (approx.
200mm).
NOTICE
The transmission of the machines with the M EMC function is maintenance
free.
The present chapter is not relevant for these machine variants.
