MAINTENANCE
GEARBOX
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 fill plug be removed after every 8 to 10 hours of operation and oil added until it runs
out test plug hole. The test plug and fill plug locations are shown below in FIGURE MntP-R-0153 and MntP-R-
0154.
Required lubricant is Multi-Purpose Gear Oil P/N 00786250.
The center gearbox capacity is 2-1/2 quarts and the outer gearbox capacity is 1-3/4 quarts.
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. Once
located correct the source of noise.
