19. REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION OIL
IMPORTANT: • The transmission oil should be replaced
after the initial 50 hours of operation and
then after every 200 hours of operation.
• It is recommended to ask your dealer to
replace the transmission oil, because
this operation also requires replacement
of the hydraulic oil filter and washing
or replacement of the suction filter. But
when there is no alternative but to re-
place the filter by yourself, observe the
following instructions.
The transmission oil drain is located under the centre of
transmission case.
(1) Drain plug
a. Place a tray under the drain plug.
b. Remove the drain plug and let the oil drain out.
c. Reinstall the drain plug and tighten it securely.
d. Pour fresh transmission oil through the oil filler (Re-
fer to page 47 and 48.) on top of the transmission
case until the level reaches the upper limit on the
level gauge (dipstick).

idle for a while. Then stop it and wait for a while until
the oil comes down into the oil pan. Now check the
oil level to check to see if it is at the upper limit or not.
When the level is low, replenish until the level reaches
the upper limit.
f. Make sure that there is no oil leaking through the oil
filter, suction filter, rubber hoses, or drain plug.
20. REPLACEMENT OF HYDRAULIC OIL FILTER

placed after the initial 50 hours of opera-
tion and then after every 200 hours of
operation. It should also changed every
time the transmission oil is replaced.
• It is recommended to ask your dealer to
replace the hydraulic oil filter. But when
there is no alternative but to replace the
