CHECK THE LUBRICANT IN THE GEAR
BOX
The gearbox is designed to operate on SAE 80-90 wt. gear lube.
Although the gear box is shipped with lubricant from the factory,
check the level before operating the cutting unit.
1.
Position the machine and cutting unit on a level surface.
2.
Remove the check plug from the side of the gear box and make
sure lubricant is up to bottom of the hole (Fig. 2). If the level
of lubricant is low, remove the fill plug on top of the gear case
and add enough lubricant to bring it up to bottom of the hole in
the side.
