When you change the gear oil, only drain the remaining gear oil while it
is warm.
(3) The first time you replace the middle and rear axle gear oil (after the
break-in period) of a new crane:
(a) Drain the gear oil and add engine oil to the axle to the correct level.
(b) Lift the axles off the ground (support with jack stands). Start the
engine and set the transmission in gear.
(c) Allow the wheels to turn for five minutes and then drain the oil.
(d) Add new gear oil to the correct level.
(4) Add grease to the main reducer and wheel ends until the grease comes
out of the oil filler.
(5) Add grease to the oil cup.
When you add or change grease, you must clean the grease off and
around the plug (grease nipple) and check for leaks.
(6) Add grease to the drive lines. Refer to Figure 1-12.
