4.7.7.c CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IN THE
TRAVEL REDUCTION GEARS
DANGER
•
As soon as the machine has been stopped the oil is very
hot; let it cool down until it reaches 40÷50°C before carry-
ing out the check.
This check must be carried out on each reduction gear posi-
tioned with the level plugs (1) on the horizontal axis and the
drain plug (2) downward.
If necessary, move the machine slightly until reaching the re-
quired position, which must absolutely be respected in order to
carry out a precise check.
This check is visual: the oil must reach the holes (1); otherwise,
top up using the prescribed oil. (See “4.3 FUEL, COOLANT AND
LUBRICANTS”).
Use a 5 mm setscrew spanner.
