The oil in the side-drive and gearbox should be changed periodically.
Changing the oil is done as follows:
Fig. 13
Side-drive (see Fig. 13):
1. Remove the protective cover (1) under the side-drive.
2. For a few minutes, let the machine run above the ground so that the oil becomes warm.
3. Stop the machine and lower it onto the underground so that it is parallel to the underground.
!! Switch off the tractor’s engine and PTO before descending !!
!! Make sure that the tractor and the machine cannot move uncontrolled !!
!! Never crawl under the machine !!
4. Place a sufficiently large oil receptacle (larger than 2.0 ltr. (0.53 gal.)) under the plug (2).
!! Watch out because the oil can be hot and injure the skin !!
5. Remove the bottom (2) and let the oil run into the receptacle.
6. Check the contamination of the oil. Steel particles in the oil might indicate a problem in the
side-drive.
Used oil / grease is harmful to the environment. Dispose of these substances according
to the regulations that apply in your location.
