Rotor Planetary Oil and Filter
(Change oil and filter every 500 hours of
operation or annually)
Level Check:
Check the oil level of the rotor planetary daily.
Check oil level with engine running and rotor off.
The oil level should be in the center of the sight
gauge located on either side of the planetary. If
oil is low, add synthetic oil 80W-140 gear lube to
bring the oil up to the proper level. Do not over
fill.
Rotor Planetary Level Sight Gauge
Sight Gauge
If oil is low, clean the area around the filler/
breather plug at the top of the planetary. This
plug can be accessed from either side of the
bagger. Remove the filler plug and add syn-
thetic 80W-140 gear lube oil until the level is
in the center of the sight gauge. Re-install the
fill plug and tighten securely. Recheck oil level
with engine running and rotor off. If oil level is
checked with the engine off, some of the oil may
drain back into the planetary and the oil level will
be above the sight gauge.
Planetary Fill/Breather Plug
Fill/Breather Plug
Change rotor planetary oil as follows:
1. Place a container under the rotor planetary.
Remove the hose from the tee fitting at the
bottom of the planetary.
2. Drain the planetary oil into the container.
reassemble the hose to the tee fitting
when all the oil is drained. Tighten the
hose securely. Dispose of used oil prop-
erly. Change the filter at this time. Refer to
“Change Rotor Planetary Filter”.
3. Clean around the fill/breather plug and
remove the fill/breather plug.
4. Fill the planetary to the top of the sight
gauge with synthetic 80W-140 gear lube
oil. Re-install the fill/breather plug and
tighten securely.
5. Start the engine and check the oil level
with the rotor off.
