Gearbox Vented Dipstick
Refer to Figure 1-1:
IMPORTANT: Gearboxes are shipped with solid
plugs in them to prevent oil loss during shipping and
handling. The solid plug on top of the gearbox must
be replaced with a vented dipstick before operating
the implement.
A vented dipstick is shipped loose and packaged with the
Operator's Manual. Remove temporary solid plug from
top of gearbox and replace with vented dipstick. See your
