MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Lubrication Recommendations
Front Gearcase Lubrication
The front gearcase lubricant level
should be checked every six
months or 1000 miles (1600 km),
whichever comes first. Front
gearcase oil should be changed
annually. We recommend the use
of Angle Drive Fluid (see page
118).
1. With the vehicle on a level
surface, remove fill plug (1).
2. View the oil level and add the
recommended oil as needed.
Oil should be kept at the
bottom of the fill plug thread.
3. Replace the fill plug.
Gearcase Oil Change
1. Remove the fill plug.
2. Remove gearcase drain plug located on the bottom right-hand side
and drain the oil.
3. Clean and reinstall the drain plug and tighten securely (14 ft.
lbs./1.93 kg m).
4. Add Angle Drive Fluid to the bottom thread of the fill hole.
5. Reinstall the fill plug.
6. Check for leaks.
