To check the oil in the bearing housing the pump must first be stopped. Once the oil settles, it should be visible in the
gearbox sightglasses. If not, remove the vents and add oil until visible in the sightglass. If the gearbox does not have
sightglasses, remove the oil level check plug. If oil does not come out of these holes, it must be added through the
vent holes until it starts to do so. Reattach the vents and oil plugs and resume operation.
