■GEARCASE LUBRICATION With the exception of oil leaks or contamination, the RedMax Sweeper's oil filled gearcase is designed to last the life of the machine under normal use:

•It is not necessary to add oil or to "top off" the gearcase under normal operating conditions.

•For continuous heavy-duty applications, (such as where the machine will be stopped only during refueling), RedMax recommends replacing RedMax Sweeper gearcase oil every 40 hours of operation.

■REPLACING THE GEARCASE OIL (MA1)

Warm the gearcase oil by running the RedMax Sweeper at varying speeds for approximately 8-10 minutes, and then switch the engine to "OFF" and disconnect the spark plug wire at the engine. Use the following procedure to remove and replace all gearcase oil.

1.Remove the drum and axle assemblies (see page 12), and then remove the four end cap bolts and the end cap (the gearcase need not be removed from the RedMax Sweeper).

2.Allow all used gearcase oil to drain into a small container.

WARNING

BURN DANGER! The gearcase and oil will be extremely hot after use!

•Use only Mobil SHC 634 Synthetic Gear Oil.

•Do not mix other oils ar additives with the RedMax Sweeper Gearcase Oil.

•Do not disturb the sealed end plug or bolt on the gearcase (leakage may occur).

•Do not use the RedMax Sweeper if oil is leaking from the gearcase. Return the machine to the dealer for repairs.
