Recommended Lubricant notes
* - Capacities given are approximate, work to dipstick, sight gauges or level plugs.
** - Refer to the 'Lubrication and Service Chart' for the different applications. DO NOT use on the Articulation
bearings.
Note 1 - Operation below the minimum temperatures listed for the oil used without proper pre-heat or warm-up
results in greatly reduced transmission life. Proper warm-up requires 20 minutes minimum operation in neutral
(with engine at part throttle) before operating the transmission in gear.
Note 2 - Hydraulic Transmission Oil is suitable for use in the hydraulic system.
