NOTICE
Use diesel engine oil SAE-30-CD or equivalent as
gear lubricating oil. Any recommended gear oil can
be used, but drain old oil completely
Track Drive Oil - Check
To check the track drive oil the drive unit must be on flat, level
ground and the drive placed in accordance to the below
figure and plug (2) removed. If oil seeps out of the hole, the
unit is full. When the oil level is below the hole, fill the unit
according to the instructions in the “Track Drive Oil - Replace”
section which follows.
Track Drive Oil - Replace
To drain the oil in the track drive, position the unit as in above
figure. The oil drain plug (3) must be positioned straight down
with the oil supply plug removed to be used as a vent (4). Set
a container under the draining plug. Draining the oil should
always be done when the oil is hot, this will aid in the draining
and help prevent sludge. When the drive is empty, replace
the drain plug (3). Fill the track drive with the recommended
gear oil in the oil supply port (4) until oil reaches and starts
to leak out of level plug (2). Ensure that all three plugs are
tightened. Use fluid as noted in the “Fluid Specifications
Section” of this manual.
Always pay attention to oil leaks and loose bolts, detect
and correct these problems as soon as possible to prevent
damage to the track or machine.
