Manual transmission (4-gear)
7.5 Manual transmission (4-gear)
The manual transmission is used to switch the "Turtle" and "Rabbit" operating modes
and also gear I and II and all-wheel drive.
The oil level must be checked every 50 operating hours. It is checked at the inspection
glasses (2). The inspection glasses (2) are at the back of the transmission on the left
beside the cardan shaft and the reduction gear.
To read the oil level, the machine must be standing on even and level ground with the
diesel engine shut down for at least 5 minutes.
Read the oil level in the inspection glass; it must be within the inspection glass area
(never above the top edge of the inspection glass!).
The first oil change is required after 50 operating hours, further oil changes must be
performed annually.
ADVICE
The complete transmission consists of two units linked by a narrow duct with a com-
mon oil supply. The machine must be completely level to change the oil. After refilling
with fresh wait at least one hour before checking the level. The transmission has suf-
ficient oil only if both inspection glasses show the same oil level in the centre of the
inspection glasses after the waiting period.
CAUTION
Hot oil!
The oil in the manual transmission may become very hot. Hazard of burning.
– When changing oil, always wear gloves and suitable personal protective equip-
ment (See Page 37).
