MAINTENANCE
GEARBOX
The Gearbox has been filled with lubricant prior to shipment. However, you should check the oil level 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 dipstick breather plug be removed after every 8 to 10 hours of operation and oil added if needed. Figure 2.

Recommended lubricant is NLGI 000 Grease, Rhino P/N 00765444. Gearbox capacity is one quart.
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.
GAUGE WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Gauge wheels are equipped with bearings which require grease dai- ly. Grease Fittings are provided in the Wheel Hub and Gauge Wheel Pivot . Grease after 8 hours of use.
