Service and maintenance
8.2 Checking and changing lubricants
Note
Where tandem gearboxes are concerned, each individual gearbox is to be considered
separately.
Gearbox sizes 28 and 38 on the 2nd gearbox are lubricated for life. An oil change is not
required.
8.2.2
Checking the oil level
NOTICE
The volume of gearbox oil changes with temperature
If the temperature rises, the volume increases. Where temperature differences and filling
quantities are significant, the volume difference can amount to several liters.
The oil level must therefore be checked while still slightly warm, approximately 30 minutes
after switching off the drive unit.
