Maintenance
Gearbox and Transfer Box
General
NO adjustments are necessary to any of these units, all that is
required is adherence to the lubrication schedule on page 9-28.
Oil Changes
An initial oil change and flush is recommended after the
transmission is placed in actual service. This change should be
made at any time following 50 hours in service, but should not
exceed 100 hours. An oil change and flush should be scheduled
for every subsequent 500 hours of operation. When changing
the oil it is essential to renew the oil filter and clean out the
suction strainer. The object in draining the oil is to eliminate
possible bearing surface abrasion and attendant wear. Minute
particles of metal, the result of normal wear in service are
deposited in and circulated with the oil. Oil changes are best
carried out when the transmission is thoroughly warm - NOT
HOT!
