LUBRICATION 3.2
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 any attachment, raise the boom arms and
engage the boom support pins. Shut off the engine.
2 Remove the top (upper) check plug located between
the 2 tires at the very front of the loader. (fig. C597)
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 seat and hydrostatic shield (fig. C2358).
3 Remove the vented oil filler plug (fig. C2360).
4 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 7 liters (1.9 gal).
6 Replace all plugs. Apply thread sealant to vented
filler plug (fig. C2279).
Changing The Oil
Ensure the loader is on a level surface before changing
the oil.
1 Remove any attachment, raise the boom arms and
engage the boom support pins. Shut off the engine.
2 Slide a drain pan under one of the lower drain plugs
located at the front of the loader, between the 2 front
wheels. (fig. C597) Be prepared to contain 7 liters (1.9
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.
4 Replenish the oil as outlined above in Adding Oil
with 10W30 API classification SE/CD oil.
