12.12 Transmission oil
12.12.1 Quantity and types
The transmission is filled with approx. 2.2 l transmission oil SAE 90 API-GL-4.
12.12.2 Checking the oil level, changing the oil
The transmission does not need to be lubricated under normal operating condi-
tions. However, we recommend changing the oil after
10 years .
A shorter oil change interval is recommended if fertilisers with a high dust content
are used and the spreader is frequently cleaned.

See table.
NOTICE
Use only one type of oil, never mix different types.

WARNING
Environmental pollution due to unsuitable disposal of hy-
draulic and gear oil
The hydraulic and gearbox oils are not entirely biodegradable.
Therefore, oil must be prevented from entering the environment in
an uncontrolled manner.
 Collect/dam escaped oil with sand, earth or other absorp-
tive material.
 Collect hydraulic and gear oil in a suitable container pro-
vided for the purpose, and dispose of it in accordance with
the local statutory requirements.
 Oil must be prevented from spilling and draining into the
sewers.
 The ingress of oil into the sewage system must be pre-
vented by building dams made of sand and/or earth or by
other suitable damming means.
