12.3.2 Repositioning / replacing the gear wheels
on the WHG/KX / WHG/KG Special / Super (specialised workshop)
When the gearbox cover is opened, transmission fluid runs out.
To prevent contamination from escaping fluid,

raise the mounted implement using the tractor's three-point
hydraulic system until the implement is inclined about 30° for-
wards

park the implement on solid ground and reduce the oil level by
draining off the transmission fluid.
Only reuse the collected transmission fluid if it has not been
contaminated by dirt particles.
DANGER
Secure the raised soil tillage implement which is attached to the
tractor against unintentional lowering by using suitable support
elements or a crane.
