Maintenance
Transmission (pump, Eaton 11)
• Initially, change the oil at 50 hours running time,
then; change oil every 500 hours or annually,
whichever occurs first.
• Change hydraulic oil filter every 500 hours or
annually, whichever occurs first.
• Only use the manufacturer’s recommended
replacement oil filter. When fitting the filter, follow
the instructions supplied with the filter. This will
ensure that the filter remains tight and that no
leaks occur.
• Check all hard line oil pipes for rubbing, excessive
vibration, leaks and tightness on a regular basis.
• Check transmission oil level on oil tank sight glass.
Oil level should remain at a minimum of 25mm (1”)
and at a maximum of 40mm (1.5”) from the top of
the tank.
• Oil Capacity including filter is 6 litres or 5.3 U.S.
quarts. For the ultimate performance we use and
recommend the Penrite synthetic 5 SAE 5W-60
transmission oil (Part No. R5226) or synthetic oil
equivalent.
Storing
• It is important to store this roller in the towing
position. This ensures the trailer strut is in
the closed position, protecting the shaft from
corrosion, then failure and also the weight is taken
off the roller bearings.
Service of the drive chain system
• Replacement - Some chains look a like, but
they are not, use only the chain and sprockets
recommended as per the correct spare parts
number. Wrong pitch drive chain fitted will cause
excessive sprocket wear and possible drive failure.
• Tensioning the drive chain - No adjustment is
required; the chain tension is automatically
adjusted.
