Gearbox Lubrication

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 (Figure Mnt-0011).

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.

Tail Wheel Lubrication

Tail Wheel Bearings are packed at the factory with heavy-duty bearing grease. Grease Fittings are provided in the Wheel Hub and Tail Wheel Beam. Grease after 10 hours of use (Figure Mnt-0004).

Recommended lubricant is SAE EP85W14QT with EP additives for extreme pressure and temperature, with a APL-GI-5 Service rating. This lube also has tack agent added so oil sticks to parts when box is not running. Gearbox capacity is 2 Quarts.
