IMPORTANT: Avoid using excessive hose when routing it to gear lube monitor. Hose
should be routed directly to oil reservoir in as straight a line as possible to avoid low
spots (traps) in the system.
CAUTION

gear lube monitor will not function properly and damage to drive unit could occur.
1. Route hose to gear lube monitor and cut off excess hose. Hose can be routed on outside
of remote oil filter or the hole in the front lifting eye bracket.
2. Connect hose and secure with hose clamp.
IMPORTANT: Hose must not come in contact with steering system components or the
engine coupler, U-joint shaft or drive shaft.
