Chapter - Scheduled Maintenance
The fluid flywheel transmits power from the engine to the gearbox. Its design allows for the minimum of
maintenance, minimal mechanical wear and superior longevity to the remainder of the transmission system.
With the correct attention it should last the life of the sweeper.

Maintenance
After the first 50 hours operation check the fluid level; this operation must be carried out with the unit cold.
Repeat this check every 500 hours. The fluid flywheel is fitted with a fusible plug which melts at 198°C
(recognised by four equally spaced indentations round the hexagonal socket). Oil should be replaced after
4,000 hours operation.
Draining Instructions
• Ensure the flywheel is cool before removing the level filler plug
• Using a propriety vacuum pump or oil extractor/syringe, drain the oil from the flywheel.
Filling Instructions
Ensure the flywheel’s filler port aligns with sight hole (B) in either of the two flywheel side covers (C) ,
approximately 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock.
Remove the side cover and spacers. Remove filler plug using a 5/16 AF allen key and fill with the
correct oil until it reaches the level of the port. (See Operators Guide page OG6:17 for oil specification)

During filling, carefully rock the flywheel to ensure that no air pockets form below the oil level.
