Changing Axle Final Drive Oil

IMPORTANT: Clean the area surrounding plugs before removing. Ensure a suitable container is placed on the ground to catch oil. When removing drain plugs, be sure to stand to one side to avoid oil which will spill from the hole.

Proceed as follows:

1. Hand rotate the final drive (A) so that plug (B) is at the bottom.

2. Drain lubricating oil by removing the plug.

3. Turn final drive 180°.

4. Re-fill with clean oil of the correct type and grade (see Section "Fuel, Lubricants, Coolant and Capacities).
