2. Change the gearbox oil:
a. Every 1,000 hours drain each gearbox.
b. There is a drain plug in the gearbox, but it can be difficult to get to. Use an oil suction gun to
remove all the oil through the breather plug. Suction guns are available from larger
automotive supply companies.
c. Dispose of oil according to local laws and regulations.
d. Re-fill with EP90 gear oil. Capacities are:
I. Chassis gearbox, 1.4 litres (2.46 UK pints, 2.96 US pints)
II. Mower deck gearboxes, 1.4 litres (2.46 UK pints, 2.96 US pints). Do not overfill or
overheating and oil leaks will result.
e. Refit the breather and tighten securely.
16h. Driveshaft Maintenance.
1. General:
a. The driveshafts that connects the tractor PTO output to the primary gearbox and the primary
gearboxes to the mower deck gearboxes are complex pieces of equipment. Regular
maintenance is essential.
b. Driveshaft tubes must always be able to telescope freely, or serious damage will result.
c. Driveshafts for Trimax mowers may be supplied by various manufacturers.
d. Maintenance instructions may be attached to the driveshaft or included with this operator’s
manual. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. If they are not available use the following
guide.
NOTE: The rear driveshaft is longer than the left and right shafts. Fitting
the rear shaft to the left or right sides will cause severe damage to the
shaft and gearboxes. Clearly mark each driveshaft or remove and work
on one shaft at a time.
2. Guide to servicing all driveshafts:
a. It is easiest to remove the driveshaft from the
machine for servicing.
b. Work on one driveshaft at a time so the same
parts are always assembled together.
c. Undo the large jubilee clip on the mower deck
gearbox and slide the rubber concertina off the
gearbox.
d. Repeat for the opposite end.
e. After greasing, refit the smaller cover tube to the
chassis gearbox end. This helps prevent water
and dirt running between the tubes when the
decks are in the raised position.
f. Fit both concertina covers back on loosely.
Ensure the slipper bearing grease holes are
facing upwards before tightening jubilee clips.
