Replacing the gear case oil
WARNING!
BURN DANGER! The gear case will be extremely hot after use!
1. Disconnect spark plug wire at engine.
2. Remove the LH Drum and axle assembly (as viewed from the operating posi-
tion). Wipe the side plate clean and remove four screws (it is not necessary
to remove the gear case from the outer tube).
3. Turn gear case side plate to break the seal and lift the plate from the gear
case. See Figure 14.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to use a heat gun to soften the sealer material.
4. Turn the gear case to the LH side and allow all used gear case oil to drain
into a small container.
5. Place the gear case on the RH side and supported so the outer tube is paral-
lel to the ground. Refill the gear case with 60 cc (2.0 fl.oz) of Mobil SHC634
Synthetic Gear Oil to the bottom of the chamfer on the output gear. The cor-
rect oil depth is 5/8" (15.5 mm). See Figure 15.
DO NOT OVERFILL!
6. Inspect the side plate for damage and clean off all remaining liquid gasket
material with brake cleaner or acetone. Coat the outer sealing flange of the
side plate with Loctite Ultragrey Silicon Sealant or Threebond No. 1104
Liquid Gasket.
7. Replace the cover and install the four side plate screws. Tighten securely.
8. Reinstall the drum and axle assembly per the sweeper assembly instructions.
