Maintenance of the Transfer Box
Maintenance of the transfer box in service comes to
checking the oil level and changing oil at intervals specified in
Lubrication Table, and also to checking periodically all attach-
ment parts.
When changing or refilling oil in the transfer box, check
simultaneously the level of oil in the gearbox. The level of oil
should reach the lower edge of the check holes 1 (Fig. 45, 46).
During operation of the automobile, the level of oil in the
gearbox could be lowered to 8 mm relatively the lower edge of
the check hole 1 (Fig. 45), and simultaneously it could be raised
in the transfer box. Levelling of the oil levels is not obligatory.
Lubricate the shaft of the control levers through the grease
fitting. The access to it is from below.

Maintenance of the Propeller Shafts
Periodically check tightening of the bolts attaching the
propeller shaft flanges, periodically lubricate them, clean the
propeller shafts of dirt.
Lubricate the splined joint through the grease fitting 1
(Fig. 47) screwed in the slip yoke, and the needle bearings are
lubricated through the grease fittings 2 on the centre cross.
Lubricate the needle bearings until grease is shows up from
under the working edges of the centre cross seals.
