Gearbox Oil Level

Before starting your machine for the first time, make sure the gearbox has oil. The proper oil level is just even with the bottom of the fill plug hole. The gearbox uses 80W-90W automotive grade gear oil.

To check the gearbox oil level, do these steps:

1.Wipe the outside of the fill plug clean.

2.Using a 6mm hex wrench, remove the gearbox fill plug (Figure 10).

3.Using the short end of the hex wrench (make sure it is CLEAN), dip it inside the fill hole and remove it. (Do not drop the wrench into the gearbox!)

—If the end of the hex wrench is coated with oil, then the gearbox oil level is okay. Replace the fill plug and continue with set up.

—If the end of the hex wrench is not coated with oil, then fill the gearbox with 80-90W gear oil until the oil reaches the top of the fill plug.

Note: Replace the gearbox oil after the first 20 hours of operation. This is a normal break-in pro- cedure. See Lubrication on Page 25.

Connecting to Power

Make sure you have read and followed precautions listed on Page 8, before connecting your planer to power. The POWER button and STOP button (Figure 11) should illumi- nate when the planer is connected to the power. Refer to Page 40 to troubleshoot any problems.
