G8 Super Cruiser Operator’s Manual MY19 - REV 0

The Allison 6 speed automatic transmission oil level 
can be checked by using the dipstick located in left 
hand side of the transmission, under the cabin.

The oil level must be checked with the engine 
running. If the oil is cold (less than 70 degrees) the 
oil level must be in the lower range.

If the oil temperature is warm (above 70 degrees) 
the oil level must be in the upper range.

The two internal oil filters needs to be changed as 

per the maintenance schedules and the Lubricants 
and Filters charts for servicing requirements. 

Transmission Oil Cooler

The transmission oil cooler is integrated into the 
radiator.

Refer to the maintenance schedules and the 
Lubricants and Filters charts for servicing 
requirements. 

Refer to the Allison Transmission operation and 
codes manual (supplied) for any information 
on operation or troubleshooting the Allison 
transmission.

Transmission

Fixed drive lines are used to transmit drive between 
the transmission, transfer gearbox and the differential. 

These drive lines have greasable universal joints 

at each end. All the shafts have a telescopic spline 
which also requires greasing. These drive lines should 
be inspected for wear and greased at regular service 
intervals.

Differential

The front and rear differential runs in an oil bath 
sump. The oil level can be checked by removing the 
level plug on the rear of the differential housing. The 

oil should be replaced at the first service to remove 

manufacturing contamination. Oil should be replaced 
every 500 hours.

NOTE:

 

The lubricant specifications can be found in 

Chapter 10 ‘Lubrication & Maintenance’.

There is a breather located on the top of the 
differential. This allows the oil to expand and contract 
without pressurising or creating a vacuum the 
differential housing. Ensure the cap moves freely.

Front Axle

The front axle needs to be greased as found in 
Chapter 10 ‘Lubrication & Maintenance’. The front 
swivel, top and bottom needs to be greased, and 
the drive shaft yoke in the centre of the swivel also 
needs to be greased. The machine may need to 
be moved or the wheel lifted off the ground and 
rotated to access the grease nipples. 

See images on next page for the greasing points.
