WARNING
Handling gearbox oil involves several
safety risks, see Gearbox lubricants (oil or
grease) on page 32.
CAUTION
The gearbox can contain an excess of
pressure that can be hazardous. Open the
oil plug carefully in order to let out the ex-
cess pressure.
Place the oil collecting vessel underneath
the oil drain plug.
Remove the oil plug from the drain hole
and let the oil run into the vessel.
