Gearbox

The gearbox is almost maintenance-free, but should be checked quarterly to be sure that the oil level is main- tained at half full. A high quality gear oil with a viscosity index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL-4 or -5 is recommended for use in the gearbox. Oil should be changed after the first 30 hours or 30 days of operating. Then, normal change should be adequate. In the case of seasonal usage, it is best to change the oil at the end of the season to remove moisture and corrosive contaminants.

WARNING

Before proceeding, read and follow all safety rules.

To change the oil, follow this procedure, Figure 13:

1.Suction out oil in gearbox through side plug using a hand pump.

NOTE: It is best to drain the oil when the gearbox is warm to remove the most contaminants.

2.Add 1.27 quart SAE 85W90 gear oil through side plug. Use level hole (halfway up the backside of gearbox) to check oil level. Add oil accordingly.

3.Install and tighten plug.
