GEARBOX
The Gearbox has 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 is located on the rear of the Gearbox. Filler Plug is located on top of Gearbox. See Figure
Use
NOTE: Overfilling the Gearbox will cause pressure to build up and cause Oil Seals to leak.
ATTENTION: If the Gearbox suddenly starts making an unusual noise, stop at once, check for leaks, and refill Gearbox as required.
DRIVELINES
Many of the equipment components are HEAVY (70 lbs or greater) and Special Lifting Procedures are recommended. Use lifting assistance such as mechanical assistance, two people, and proper lifting techniques when connecting or installing the driveshaft to reduce the possibility of back injuries.
