8.1 Gear oil (control and changing)
Under normal working conditions the geartrain is assured for the life of the unit.
However, when consistently using fertilizer with a high dust content as well as con-
tinual cleaning, an oil change is recommended once every five years.
The drain plug (dia. 6; fig. 9) is on the left-hand side of the gearbox. To drain the
box, the spreader should be raised on the other side by about 200 mm.
As if cannot be avoided that some oil remains in the box, when refilling the complete
capacity of 7 litres can be slightly.
To assure correct geartrain lubrication, the oil level must be correctly controlled.
The level is correct when oil just starts to flow out of the opened filling/oil level plug
(dia. 6; fig. 8) when the spreader is exactly horizontal.
