• Apply the service brakes and shift to D (Drive), then to N (Neutral) and
next to R (Reverse) to fill the system. Finally shift to N (Neutral) and
release the service brakes. Allow the engine to continue to run at idle
(500-800 rpm).
• Remove the dipstick and wipe clean. Reinsert the dipstick fully into the
tube and remove to check fluid level. Repeat this to verify the reading
if needed.
• Safe operating level is anywhere within the COLD CHECK band on the
dipstick. The fluid level is sufficient enough to operate until a HOT
CHECK can be run.
• If the level is not within this band add or drain the fluid as necessary to
bring the level to the middle of the COLD CHECK band.
• Perform the HOT CHECK the first opportunity after reaching normal
operating temperatures (160º-200º F / 71º-93º C).
CAUTION: Low or high fluid level can cause overheating and
irregular shift patterns. These conditions can damage the trans-
mission if not corrected.
• The fluid level rises as the temperature increases. The fluid must be hot
to ensure an accurate check.
• Be sure the fluid has reached normal operating temperature (160º-200º
F/71º-93º C). If a transmission temperature gauge is not present check
the fluid level when the engine water temperature gauge has stabilized
and the transmission has been operated under the load for at least one
hour.
• Park the motorhome on a level surface and shift to N (Neutral). Apply
the parking brake and allow the engine to idle (500-800 rpm).
• After wiping the dipstick clean, check the fluid level. Safe operating
level is anywhere within the HOT RUN band on the dipstick.
• The width of the HOT RUN band is approximately 1 quart of fluid at
normal temperature range.
• If the level is not within this band, add or drain the fluid as necessary to
bring the level within the HOT RUN band.
