Multiquip manual R2000H Maintenance, Lubrication, Hydrostatic Transmission

Read carefully and follow the maintenance instructions in this section. Always check the engine and transmission lubrication before using the roller.

WARNING

Before servicing or performing maintenance, make sure that the engine is off, the parking brake is on, the transmission control lever is in the neutral position, and the spark plug is disconnected and secured away from the spark plug.

Lubrication

Refertothelubricationchartbelowforproperlubricationofroller. Follow the engine's manufacturer manual for engine lubrication.

R2000H — MAINTENANCE

Hydrostatic Transmission

1.Even minute amounts of foreign matter will cause major damage. If the reservoir screen is damaged, it must be replaced immediately.

2.The fluid will last under normal operating conditions, for the lifeofthetransmission.Ifoverheatingorwatercontamination occurs, the oil will change from its normal reddish color to black or milky and must be replaced.

3.To drain the fluid, remove the plastic reservoir and the 3/8- 16 hex head vent-plug from the top of the cast iron body.

CAUTION

The threads connecting the reservoir to the aluminum body are left-handed. Turn transmission upside down to drain.

4.To refill, reassemble the hex head vent-plug and the plastic reservoirtothetransmission.Refillthroughthereservoirwith cleanfluid.Withthetransmissioncontrolleverinfullforward or reverse position, rotate the input pulley several times to flush the internal mechanism of the transmission and re- drain. Refill through the reservoir with an approved transmission fluid.

5.Prior to running the roller, the transmission fluid level should not be above the cold mark. Overfilling reduces the expan- sion are in the reservoir and fluid will spill out at operating temperatures.

6.Proper cooling is essential to both the performance and life ofthetransmission.Coolingisdependent onthefanandthe fins on the body.Keep the fan tightened and replace it if the blades become broken. Keep the cooling fins clean.

WARNING

Cleaning the transmission with high pressure water spray or live steam may force water into the reservoir.A few drops of water in the system will result in excessive oil expansion, loss of oil through the vent hole in the reservoir, and a loss of power at operating temperature. A shield or cover should be placed over the reservoir cover during cleaning operation or in other situations where water maybe introduced into the unit.
