REAR AXLE
The only maintenance necessary for the first five years is the inspection of the rear
axle for lubricant leakage. Unless leakage is visible, the lubricant needs to be
replaced after five years. Refer to the Service and Repair Manual for the fluid
replacement procedure.
Checking the Lubricant Level
Clean the area around the check/fill plug and remove the plug. The correct lubri-
cant level is just below the bottom of the threaded hole. If lubricant is low, add lubri-
cant as required. Add lubricant (30 WT engine oil) slowly until lubricant starts to
seep from the hole. Install the check/fill plug. In the event that the lubricant is to be
replaced, the oil pan must be removed or the oil siphoned through the check/fill
hole.
LUBRICATION
Do not use more than three (3) pumps of grease in any grease
fitting at any one time. Excess grease may cause grease seals
to fail or grease migration into areas that could damage compo-
nents.
Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fitting could
damage grease seals and cause premature bearing failure.
