Maintenance
Changing Rear Axle Lubricant
Rear axle lubricant should be changed every 800 hours
of operation. There are 3 separate oil reservoirs (axle
support, right gear case, and left gear case) that require
draining and refilling with SAE GL-5 80W90 gear lube.
1. Position machine on a level surface.
2. Clean area around the drain plugs.
3. Remove plugs allowing oil to drain into drain pans
(Fig. 4).
4. After oil is drained, apply thread locking compound
to all drain plug threads and reinstall.
5. Remove axle support check plug and fill plug. Add
enough lubricant to bring the level up to the bottom of the
center check plug hole (Fig. 5).
6. Remove each gear case check plug. Add enough lu-
bricant to bring the level up to the bottom of each check
plug hole (Fig. 6).
7. Install all plugs.
