Gearbox Oil Level

Before starting your machine for the first time, make sure the gearbox has oil. The proper oil level is just even with the bottom of the fill plug hole. The gearbox uses 80W-90W automotive grade gear oil.

To check the gearbox oil level, do these steps:

1.Wipe the outside of the fill plug clean.

2.Using a 14mm wrench or socket, remove the gear- box fill plug (Figure 8).

3.Using the short end of a CLEAN 6mm hex wrench, dip it inside the fill hole and remove it. (Do not drop the wrench into the gearbox!)

—If the end of the hex wrench is coated with oil, then the gearbox oil level is okay. Replace the fill plug and continue with set up.

—If the end of the hex wrench is not coated with oil, then fill the gearbox with 80-90W gear oil until the oil reaches the top of the fill plug.

Note: Replace the gearbox oil after the first 20 hours of operation. This is a normal break-in pro- cedure.
