Checking The Oil Level
The loader has 2 independent final drive housings. When
checking the oil level ensure the loader is on a level sur-
face.
1 Remove the top (upper) check plug located between
the 2 tires at the side of the loader. (fig. C3496)
The oil level should be at the top of the check hole with a
little to trickle out.
Adding Oil
Oil should be added with the loader on a level surface.
1 Remove any attachment, raise the boom arms and
engage the boom support pins. Shut off the engine.
2 Remove the oil level check plug as outlined above.
(fig. C3496)
3 Remove the seat plate and front bulkhead assembly.
4 Remove the vented filler plug. (fig. C3845)
5 Add 10W30 API classification SE/CD oil until it
begins to flow out the upper check hole. Total final drive
housing capacity per side is 17 liters (4.5 gal).
6 Replace all plugs.
Changing The Oil
Ensure the loader is on a level surface before changing
the oil.
1 Shut off the engine.
2 Slide a drain pan under one of the lower drain plugs
located at the side of the loader, between the wheels. (fig.
C3496) Be prepared to contain 17 liters (4.5 gal) of oil.
3 Remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to drip com-
pletely out of the final drive housing. Replace the drain
plug . Dispose of the waste oil in an environmentally
friendly manner. If the oil is contaminated, remove the
side inspection cover to flush the housing. (fig. C3521)
4 Replenish the oil as outlined above in Adding Oil
with 10W30 API classification SJ oil.
