Multiquip V304 manual Gearbox Lubrication, Vibratory and Travel V-Belt Tension

Gearbox Lubrication

1.Remove the oil fill drain plug on the gearbox (Figure 15). If the oil level is correct oil will begin to leak out. Retighten drain plug.

2.If the level of the oil in the gearbox is low, no oil will leak out when the drain plug is removed. Add gearbox oil, type SAE 90 through this drain opening. Fill until oil begins to leak out from the drain opening cavity.If gearbox oil is low no oil will leak out when drain plug is removed. Retighten drain plug.

V304 — INSPECTION

Vibratory and Travel V-Belt Tension

Check the tension of the vibratory and travel V-belts (Figure 16). This tension can be checked by the amount of deflection when the belt is pressed midway between the two pulleys. The deflection of the travel belt should be approximately 3/4 of an inch (2 cm.), the vibratory V- belt should have a deflection of approximately 2 to 2-1/2 inches (5 to 6 cm.)

Clogged Drive Belt Tension

Check the tension of the cloggedV-belt (hydrostatic pump).This tension can be checked by the amount of deflection when the belt is pressed midway between the two pulleys. The deflection of the travel belt should be approximately 1/2 of an inch (1.27 cm.).
