Replacing the vent valve

To ensure correct functioning, renew the breather valve yearly.
When replacing, prevent dirt and damaging atmospheres from entering the gearbox.
If too much oil is contained in the gearbox, oil will escape from the breather valve. Correct
the oil quantity and replace the breather valve.
8.7

Checking the oil level sensor (optional)

The oil level sensor indicates the oil level only when the gearbox is shut down.
Lower the oil level and fill it up again until the oil level sensor gives a switching signal.
Please refer to the separate operating instructions for the oil level sensor.
