MAINTENANCE EVERY 250 HOURS OF OPERATION
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IN THE FINAL REDUCTION GEARS AND TOPPING UP
q Soon after the machine has been stopped the engine oil is very hot and may cause burns; let the
engine cool down until it reaches a temperature of 40–45°C before draining the oil.
q Loosen the cap slowly to release any residual pressure.
q The operation must be carried out with the machine positioned on firm and level ground.
1. The check must be carried out on each reduction gear,
with the drain plug (P) in low position and perpendicular to
the ground.
REMARK
If necessary, move the machine slightly until reaching the
specified position, which is indispensable for an accurate
check.
2. This check is visual. Check that the lubricant reaches the
hole (G) top rim. If oil level is too low, restore the level
through the filling hole (F) using the oil specified. (For
details, see "FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS (4-
12)").
3. After the check, refit the plugs (F) and (G).
