Gearbox
When servicing the gearbox, the sealing of the
casing must be restored. To do so, apply a
layer of silicone to the casing before closing it.
Allow the silicone to cure for at least 24 hours
before filling it with oil.
Oil Level – Oil Filling
(Figure 11)
To check oil level: Remove oil level plug, check
if the oil is flush with the plug. If not, remove
the oil filler plug and fill until the oil flows
through the oil level plug hole. Reinstall both
plugs.
Oil Change
(Figure 11)
Change the oil in the gearbox and in the
reduction box once a year.
1. Remove oil filler plug.
2. Remove oil change plug and let oil flow
through until only small drops are coming
out.
3. Reinstall oil change plug and remove oil
level plug. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W90 oil,
AGMA 5EP extreme pressure oil or
equivalent, until oil reaches oil level plug.
Reinstall oil level plug, then oil filler plug.
