Before starting your machine for the first time, check the
gearbox oil level. The proper oil level is just even with
the bottom of the fill plug hole. The gearbox uses ISO 320,
SAE 140 gear oil, or SAE 85W–140 multi-weight gear oil. DO
NOT mix oil types.
Note:
For easier access to the fill plug, remove the gearbox
cover (see
Figure 13
).
To.check.gearbox.oil.level,.do.these.steps:
1.
Remove gearbox fill plug (see
Figure.13
).
2.
Dip short end of a clean 6mm hex wrench inside fill
hole, and then remove it.
— If the end of the hex wrench
is
coated with oil,
then the gearbox oil level is okay. Replace the fill
plug and continue setup.
— If the end of the hex wrench
is
not
coated with
oil, then you need to add more oil. Refer to
Gearbox.Oil
on
Page.38.
for instructions on how to
do this.
Note:
We recommend that you replace the gearbox oil
after the first 20 hours of operation. This is a normal
break-in procedure and will help maximize the service life
of the machine by flushing away any particles from the
break-in and manufacturing process.
