Gearbox Mountings Bolts
Check the gearbox mounting nuts and bolts at the intervals stated in the regular maintenance chart, see section
0 and retighten if required. Locations of the mounting nuts and bolts are indicated in Figure 8.2.

Oil Level
Check the gearbox oil level at the intervals stated in the regular maintenance chart. (See section 8.1); ensure the
machine is lowered to the ground and located on a firm level site to perform this task.
Figure 8.2
Checking the oil level in the gearbox is by removal of the oil level plug in Figure 8.2, the level is correct when the
oil is up to the bottom of the side level plug orifice.
If the gearbox requires ‘topping up’ add oil via the top filler
plug in Figure 8.2 until it starts to seep from the side level plug orifice; replace both plugs securely to complete
the task.
Gearbox oil levels must be checked on a fortnightly basis during the season and the oil completely drained and
replaced annually.
8.5.3
Draining & Refilling
To drain oil from the gearbox it is necessary to remove the gearbox from the machine. Remove both the filler
and the level plugs and invert the gearbox over a suitable container to allow the oil to drain completely. Replace
the gearbox on the machine before refilling to the level stated above. Refer to recommended lubricants page for
gearbox oil specifications.
