SECTION V MAINTENANCE
Changing the oil
The oil filters should be renewed at each oil change.
To change the oil in the transmission proceed as follows:
•
Position a suitable container underneath, then remove the drain
plug 3 Figure on page 140 located on the underside of the gear-
box.
•
Follow the instructions given on the next page to drain the oil from
the hydrostatic steering circuit. Once you have changed the oil,
bleed the air out of the circuit by turning the steering wheel in both
directions with the engine running and with the unions slackened
off, until bubble-free oil comes out. Then tighten the unions.
•
To drain the oil from the front PTO (if fitted), unscrew the drain plug
B shown in the figure. Clean any metallic particles off the drain
plug magnet before refitting the drain plug. Remove the plug C and
remove the metal mesh filter. Wash the filter thoroughly in diesel
fuel. Refit the filter and the plug.
•
Renew the oil filter positioned on the left side of the gearbox.
•
Fit and tighten the drain plug 3 Figure on page, remove the filler
plug located on the top of the lift cover and fill the gearbox with oil
(approx. 21 litres) until the level reaches the lower edge of the hole
A.
