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.
