8 Maintenance and inspection
Remove the dipstick from the housing of the gearbox.
Clean the dipstick and position it again into the
opening, but do not screw in, remove and verify the
level of the lubricant.
If the level is too low, fresh lubricant must be added
through the opening for the dipstick. See page 12 for
the specifications of the lubrication oil for your gearbox.
As regards the maintenance of the gearbox, please
consult the owner’s manual, provided by the manufac-
turer in question.
First remove either the dipstick or the filler cap,
dependent on the gearbox model. Position the hose of
the special sump pump into the hole of the dipstick.
Extract the oil from the gearbox by quickly pushing
down the grip of the sump pump and then pull it slowly
upwards.
If there is sufficient space below the bottom of the
gearbox, you may also remove the drain plug of the
gearbox, for letting the oil out. In both cases collect the
oil in a bowl and treat it in accordance with the environ-
mental directives in your country.
