B. Service the Transmission After Overhaul
When you service the crane for the first time after vehicle installation and / or
after repair, fill the unit as follows:
(1) Fill the transmission with recommended lubricant.
(2) Start the engine and set the speed at idle to let oil fill the torque converter
and lines. Stop the engine after 3 minutes.
(3) Adjust the level of transmission oil as follows:
(a) Find and remove the oil level plugs on the lower part of the
transmission case on the right side of the crane.
Figure 1-4 Low and High Level Plugs
There are two taper pipe thread oil level holes. One is the low level plug
and the other one is the full level plug.
(b) Add the transmission oil until it flows out of the low level plug hole.
(c) Start the engine at idle speed to let the oil flow through the torque
converter, oil cooler and lines. Check the oil level. Add transmission
oil until it flows out of the low level plug. Install the low level plug.
(d) Let the oil temperature increase to between 180° F and 200° F
(82.2° C and 93.3° C). Add oil until it flows out of the full level plug.
Install the full level plug.
