Maintenance
Changing the Rear Axle
Lubricant (Model 30345 only)
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the 3 drain plugs, 1 on each end
and 1 in the center (Figure 54).

1. Drain plugs (3)
3. Remove the plugs allowing the oil to drain into drain
pans.
4. After the oil is drained, apply thread locking compound
on the drain plug threads and install them in axle.
5. Fill the axle with lubricant; refer to Checking the Rear
Axle Lubricant.
Checking Steering Cylinder
Bolt Torque (Model 30345 only)
Service Interval: Every 200 hours (Model 30345 only)
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Check the torque on the steering cylinder mounting
bolts (Figure 55). Torque should be 48 to 60 ft-lb.

Changing the Bidirectional
Clutch Lubricant (Model 30345
only)
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the check plug on the
bidirectional clutch.
3. Rotate the clutch so that the check plug is positioned
downward (Figure 56).
1. Bidirectional clutch
4. Remove the check plug allowing all lubricant to flow
into a drain pan.
5. Rotate the clutch so that the check plug is positioned
at 4 O'clock.
6. Add Mobil Fluid 424 until the lubricant level is
up to the hole in the clutch. The clutch should be
approximately 1/3 full.
7. Install the check plug.
Note: Do not use engine oil (i.e. 10W30) in the
bidirectional clutch. Anti-wear and extreme pressure
additives will cause undesirable clutch performance.
Adjusting the Traction Drive
for Neutral
If the machine moves when the traction pedal is in the neutral
position, adjust the traction cam.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn the engine
off.
2. Raise one front wheel and one rear wheel off of the
floor and place support blocks under the frame.
