Check Rear Axle Lubricant
The rear axle has three separate reservoirs which use
SAE 80W-90 gear lub. Although the axle is shipped
with lubricant from the factory, check the level
before operating the machine.
1.
Position the machine on a level surface.
2.
Remove a check plug from each end of the axle
and make sure lubricant is up to the bottom of
the hole. If the level is low, remove one of the
mounting bolts above each end plug and add
enough lubricant to bring the level up to the
bottom of the hole (Fig. 7).
3.
Remove the plug in the center of the axle and
check the level. If the level is low, add enough
lubricant to bring the level up to the bottom of
the hole.
4.
To make sure that the cavities at each end of the
axle tube are filled, jack up each side of the axle
6 inches. Then with the axle level, check the
level at the center plug hole.
