CENTER & WING GEARBOXES

The Gearboxes have been filled with lubricant to the Test Plug Level prior to shipment. However, you should check the oil level at Test Plug before operating, and frequently thereafter.

The gearbox should not require additional lubricant unless the box is cracked or a seal is leaking. It is recommended that the oil level plug be removed after every 8 to 10 hours of operation and oil added until it runs out Test Plug hole. The Test Plug on the Center Gearbox, Right & Left Wing Gearbox is located on the rear of the Gearboxes. Filler Plugs are located on top of all Gearboxes. FIGURE 3.
