3. Add gear oil to the hole in the planetary, if necessary,
to bring the oil up to the proper level. Install the
plug.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 on the opposite gear assembly.
Changing the Planetary Gear
Drive Oil
Service Interval: After the first 200 hours
Every 800 hours
Yearly
Change the oil initially after first 200 hours of operation.
Thereafter change the oil every 800 hours, or yearly,
whichever occurs first. Use a high quality SAE 85W-140
wt. gear lube.
1. With the machine on a level surface, position the
wheel so that the check/drain plug (Figure 43) is at
the 6 o'clock position.

2. Place a drain pan under the hub, remove the plug,
and allow the oil to drain.
3. Place another drain pan under the brake housing on
the other side of the wheel (Figure 44).

4. Remove check/drain plugs from the brake housing
and allow the oil to drain.
5. When all of the oil has drained, install the bottom
plug in the brake housing.
6. Position the wheel so that the plug hole is at the 3 or
9 o'clock position on the planetary.
7. Slowly add approximately 16 oz. (0.5 l) of high
quality SAE 85W-140 wt. gear lube to the planetary
fill hole (at the ten or two o'clock position) until the
level is up to the bottom of the brake housing check
hole. Install the plug.
8. Repeat the procedure on the opposite
planetary/brake assembly.
Checking the Rear Axle
Lubricant
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
The rear axle is shipped from the factory filled with SAE
85W-140 wt. gear lube. Check the oil level before the
engine is first started and every 400 hours thereafter. The
capacity is 80 oz. (2.4 l). Visually inspect for leaks daily.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove a check plug from one end of the axle
(Figure 45) and make sure that the lubricant is up to
the bottom of the hole. If the level is low, remove
the fill plug (Figure 45) and add enough lubricant to
bring the level up to the bottom of the check plug
holes.
