Gearbox oil level;
check all gearboxes’ oil level by removing the breather plug.
Using a flashlight, check inside each of the gearboxes to verify that they are
approximately ½ full. When filled correctly the oil level should be approximately
halfway on the input shaft. When fully drained the central gearbox requires
approximately 78 fl. oz. (2.4 qt.) of oil while the deck gearboxes require
approximately 44 fl. oz. (1.4 qt.) each of oil. If needed add SAE 90W gear oil.
Note:
Never overfill gearboxes. Oil will expand when hot. Overfilling will likely cause
excess oil to blow out of breather cap.
Every 25 hours:
