■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 2), 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!

3.Place the RedMax Sweeper main gear flat. Refill the gearcase with Mobil SHC 634 Synthetic Gear Oil to the top of the main gear (60ml – 1.80zs), as shown. DO NOT OVERFILL! (MA1)
