Inspecting the transparent oil plugs

The gearboxes are equipped with transparent plugs, through which oil leakage

from the hubs can be detected. If an oil leakage is detected, remove the hub and

replace the defective part (radial sealing or o-ring).

If only a few drops of oil are detected, is not necessarily a sign of an oil leakage.

A few drops of oil inside can normally be released from the hub. But if oil
