Check Transmission-Hydraulic Oil Level
IMPORTANT: Routine checks will help prevent downtime. The operator can aid in preventive maintenance by documenting all leak and malfunction problems. Since the transmission operates in oil, it is very important to keep oil clean and at correct level at all times. NOTE: Oil temperature should be approximately 45° C (113° F). Sight glass observations will be significantly higher with hotter oil temperatures and lower with colder oil. 1. Operate engine at approximately 1000 rpm for at least one minute.2. Move rockshaft lever full forward to lower hitch all the way down. 3. Stop engine and wait an additional three minutes before checking oil level. 4. Check level at sight glass (A). Oil level should be between upper and lower lines on sight glass. IMPORTANT: Oil level above the top mark on sight glass can result in power loss and heat generation during transport. 5. If oil level is below the lower mark, remove filler cap (B) and add oil. 6. Inspect and thoroughly clean all filler cap vents (C). 7. Inspect rubber seal (D) for cracks or other imperfections. Replace if necessary. 8. Install filler cap. |
