GEAR OIL
To check the gear oil level, remove the gear oil
level plug 1 and look into the hole. The oil level
should be at the bottom edge of the hole. If the
oil level is low, add the specified gear oil until
the level reaches the bottom edge of the hole.
Then, reinstall and tighten the plug.
To change the gear oil:
1. Make sure the motor is in an upright posi-
tion. Place a drain pan under the lower cas-
ing.
2. Remove the gear oil drain plug 2, then
remove the gear oil level plug 1.
3. After the oil has drained completely, inject
the specified gear oil into the gear oil drain
hole 2 until it just starts to come out of the
gear oil level hole 1. Approximately 0.85 L
(0.90/0.75 US/Imp. qt.) of oil will be required.
4. Reinstall and tighten the gear oil level plug
1, then quickly reinstall and tighten the gear
oil drain plug 2.
NOTE:
To avoid insufficient injection of gear oil, check
the gear oil level 10 minutes after doing the pro-
cedure in the step 4. If the oil level is low, slowly
inject the gear oil into the gear oil level hole 1
up to the correct level.
