RECOMMENDED FILLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR REAR FLAIL GEARBOX
When filling or checking the fluid level, the unit
should be parked on a level surface with rear flail
down on surface, shut
“OFF” , and cold, (at ambient
temperature).
Remove the fluid level plug located on the side of
the gear box. The gear box should be filled to the
bottom of the fluid level hole. If necessary, use 75-
90 wt. PAO Synthetic Extreme Pressure Gear Lube
to raise level to bottom of the hole.
Do not over-fill. Excessive gear oil will run back
out of the hole. Reinstall fluid level plug into
gearbox. If gearbox has been over-filled, the excess
may be expelled through the pressurized breather.
