Filling the Planetary-Gear-Drive
with Lubricant
1. Through the fill-plug hole, slowly fill the planetary
with 0.65 L (22 fl oz) of high quality SAE
85W-140 wt gear lube.
Important:
If the planetary fills before the
0.65 L (22 fl oz) of oil is added, wait 1 hour
or install the plug and move the machine
approximately ten feet to distribute the oil
through the brake system. Then, remove the
plug and add the remaining oil.
