GEARBOX
The Gearboxes have been filled with lubricant to the Test Plug Level prior to shipment. However, you should check
the oil level at Test Plug before operating, and frequently thereafter.
The gearbox should not require additional lubricant unless the box is cracked or a seal is leaking. It is recommended
that the oil level plug be removed after every 8 to 10 hours of operation and oil added until it runs out Test Plug hole.
The Test Plug is located on the back of the Gearbox. Filler Plug is located on top back of Gearbox.

Recommended lubricant is NLGI 000 Grease, Rhino P/N 0076 5444 . Gearbox capacity is one quart.
NOTE: Overfilling the Gearbox will cause pressure to build up and cause Oil Seals to leak.
ATTENTION: If the Gearbox suddenly starts making an unusual noise, stop at once, check for leaks, and refill
Gearbox as required.
CENTER 4-WAY GEAR BOX
Gear box is filled from factory with proper lube level. There is no level check plug. To check oil level insert a
clean wire, rod, or measuring device to determine distance from top of gear box. Oil level should not be lower
than 3 1/4 inches or more than 2 1/4 inches from the top.
