Planetary Oil Change Procedure - Models 300, 400, 500 and 600
MAINTENANCE
Drain
1. Strongly recommended to have warmed the oil by
running the unit before doing an oil change.
2. Place a large oil pan below the planetary/gearbox.
3. Remove the drain plug from base of planetary/gearbox.
4. If equipped with a cooling kit place an oil pan below the
filter for the kit, remove the filter for the cooler and let
oil drain from here as well.
5. Disconnect the vent line fitting located at the base of
the planetary/gearbox to allow the oil to drain faster.
6. Complete draining will take several minutes.
7. Verify that the proper amount of oil has been removed
as per chart 40.
Fill
1. Replace the drain plug on the planetary/gearbox.
2. Reconnect the vent line fitting at the base of the
planetary/gearbox.
3. If equipped with a cooling kit a new filter must be
filled with oil and installed on the cooler and the pump
located off the planetary gearbox must be primed by
being filled with oil. ( )
4. Disconnect the fill line fitting at the oil reservoir.
5. To refill, pump oil into the fill line fitting with a
mechanical pump until oil circulates through and starts
to enter the oil reservoir through the vent line.
6. Reconnect the fill line fitting at the oil reservoir.
7. Wait a few minutes for the oil level to stabilize.
8. Top up oil reservoir through the top port so that sight
glass is 3/4 full.

NOTICE
Check the planetary drive oil level daily. This can be done
at the sight glass on the planetary oil reservoir. Oil in
the sight glass will indicate safe operating levels. The oil
reservoir is located on the side of the tub.
CAUTION
When adding oil to the planetaries, do not over
pressurize the planetaries. If too much pressure is
used it will blow out the output shaft seal.
