Oil Level
Before starting your machine for the first time,
check the gearbox oil level. the proper oil level
is just even with the bottom of the fill plug hole.
the gearbox uses iSo 320, SaE 140 gear oil, or
SaE 85W–140 multi-weight gear oil. do not mix
oil types.
Note: For easier access to the fill plug, remove
the drive chain cover (see Figure 16).
to check gearbox oil level:
1. remove gearbox fill plug (see figure 16).
Fill plug
figure 16. location of gearbox fill plug.
2.
dip short end of a clean 6mm hex wrench
inside fill hole, and then remove it.
— if the end of the hex wrench is coated
with oil, then the gearbox oil level is okay.
replace the fill plug and continue setup.
— if the end of the hex wrench is not coated
with oil, then you need to add more oil.
refer to Gearbox Oil on Page 37 for
instructions on how to do this.
Note: We recommend that you replace the gear-
box oil after the first 20 hours of operation. This is
a normal break-in procedure and will help maxi-
mize the service life of the machine by flushing
away any particles from the break-in and manu-
facturing process.
