– Check ATF level by turning stopcock in direction of drain pipe
-lower arrow-.
Fluid level is correct if only a small quantity of ATF comes out of
drain pipe before ATF reaches a temperature of 45 °C.
Note
Approx. 5 cl of ATF will always run out of internal fluid level pipe.
– If no additional ATF emerges, turn stopcock back in direction
of filler hose and allow some more ATF to flow into gearbox;
check ATF level repeatedly.
– Once correct ATF level has been reached unscrew stopcock.
Note
A few drops of ATF will escape after unscrewing stopcock.
– Renew ATF inspection plug.
– Close inspection plug -B- before ATF temperature exceeds 45
°C (50 °C in countries with hot climate).

Note
If ATF temperature exceeds 45 °C too much fluid will escape as
it expands when heated. In this case the quantity of fluid in the
gearbox is NOT sufficient!

ing key.
