NOTE: Over a period of time, a wheel motor can wear
internally. Aworn motor may by--pass oil toits case drain
causing the motor to be less efficient. Eventually,
enough oil loss will cause the wheel motor to stall under
heavy loadconditions. Continued operationwith a worn,
inefficient motor can generate excessive heat, cause
damage to seals and other components in the hydraulic
system and affect overall machine performance.
