Changing the drive axle gearbox oil
Emptying the gear oil
– Ensure the forklift truck is stopped on a lev-
el surface.
– Unscrew the plug of the oil filler port(1) so
that the gear oil is easier to discharge.
– Place a container under the drive axle gear-
box to collect the waste transmission oil.
– Remove the plug(3) and drain the gear oil.
After all of the gear oil has been discharged
from the gearbox, refit the plug.
ENVIRONMENT NOTE
Appropriately dispose of used gear oil.
Filling gear oil
– Unscrew the plugs of the oil filler port(1)
and oil level hole(2).
– Fill the gearbox with new gear oil, until oil
flows out of the oil level hole..
NOTE
●
The high viscosity of gear oil means that it
takes time for new oil to fill the gaps in the
gearing. It is therefore preferable to use a
pressurised filling tool; otherwise the filling
process will take a relatively long time.
Even when oil flows out of the filler port, this
does not mean that the oil level is full; wait
5-8 minutes until the gear oil fills the gaps in
the gearing.
●
Use gear oil in accordance with the referred
instructions only.
– Refit the plugs of the filler port and oil level
hole.
