Check Rear Axle Lubricant
The rear axle reservoir uses Mobil 424 hydraulic fluid.
Although the axle is shipped with lubricant from the fac-
tory, check the level before operating the machine.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove check plug from axle and make sure lubri-
cant is up to bottom of hole. If level is low, add enough
lubricant to bring the level up to the bottom of the check
hole (Fig. 4).
