MAINTENANCE
Sump preheaters
Preheat the transmission fluid to the minimum temperature for the oil viscosity used before engine start up.
Filters
Service oil filter elements the first time at 100 hours and then every 1000 hours under normal environmental and duty
cycle conditions.
Clutch Calibration
Perform automatic clutch calibration every 2000 hours.
Lubricants
Recommended Lubricants
Only Dextron
®
III is approved. Viscosity at 104°F [40°C] = 33 - 38 cSt; at 212°F [100°C] = 7-8 cSt.
Maintenance Intervals
Daily
Check oil level daily with engine running at idle (600 RPM) and oil at 180-200°F [82 - 93°C].
Maintain oil level at full mark.
Normal oil change interval
Drain and refill system every 1000 hours for average environmental and duty cycle conditions. Severe or sustained high
operating temperature or very dusty atmospheric conditions will result in accelerated deterioration or contamination.
Judgement must be used to determine the required change intervals for extreme conditions.
Every 1000 hours:
•
Change oil filter element.
•
Drain oil at 150–200°F [65-93°C] and refill system as follows:
1.
Drain transmission.
2.
Remove and discard filter.
3.
Install new filter.
4.
Refill transmission to FULL mark.
5.
Run engine at 500 - 600 RPM to prime converter and lines.
6.
Recheck level with engine running at 500 - 600 RPM and add oil to bring level to LOW mark. When oil temperature
is hot 180-200°F [82.2-93.3°C] make final oil level check and adjust if necessary to bring oil level to FULL mark.
NOTE:
It is recommended that oil filter be changed after 100 hours of operation on new, rebuilt, or repaired unit.
Extended oil change interval
Extended oil service life may result when using synthetic fluids. Appropriate change intervals should be determined for
each transmission by measuring oil oxidation and wear metals, over time, to determine a baseline. Wear metal analysis
can provide useful information but a transmission should not be removed from service based solely on this analysis.
