Checking the Planetary Drive
Gear/Brake Oil
Service Interval:
Every 400 hours—Check the planetary
drive gear/brake oil level (Also, check if
external leakage is observed)
Check the oil level after every 400 hours of operation or if
external leakage is noted. Use high quality SAE 85W-140 gear
lube as a replacement.
1.
With the machine on a level surface, position the wheel
so that one check plug (
) is at the 12 o'clock
position and the other is at 3 o'clock position.

Check/drain plug (3 o'clock position)
2.
Remove the plug at the 3 o’clock position (
Oil level should be within 6 mm (1/4 inch) of the
check plug hole
3.
If the oil level is low, remove the plug at the 12 o’clock
position and add oil until it begins to flow out of the
hole at the 3 o’clock position.
4.
Re-install both plugs.
5.
Repeat steps
on the opposite planetary gear
assembly.
Changing the Planetary Drive
Gear/Brake Oil
Service Interval:
After the first 250 hours—Change the
planetary drive gear/brake oil
Every 800 hours
Change the oil initially after first 250 hours of operation.
Thereafter change the oil every 800 hours, or yearly,
whichever occurs first. Use a high quality SAE 85W-140 gear
lube as replacement.
1.
With machine on level surface, position a wheel so one
of the check/drain plugs is at the lowest (6 o’clock)
position (
