Gearbox Lubrication
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 level plug be removed
after every 8 to 10 hours of operation and oil added
until it runs out Test Plug hole. The Test Plug is
located on the rear of the Gearbox. Filler Plug is
located on top of Gearbox (Figure Mnt-0011).
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.
Tail Wheel Lubrication
Tail Wheel Bearings are packed at the factory with
heavy-duty bearing grease. Grease Fittings are
provided in the Wheel Hub and Tail Wheel Beam.
Grease after 10 hours of use (Figure Mnt-0004).
Recommended lubricant is SAE EP85W14QT with EP additives for extreme pressure and temperature, with a
APL-GI-5 Service rating. This lube also has tack agent added so oil sticks to parts when box is not running.
Gearbox capacity is 2 Quarts.
