component item numbers.

acts as an abrasive. Lubrication of accessory equip-
ment should be in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations.

Lubrication Points
Swing Drive
Swing drive – Item 4. To check oil level, remove check
plug located on the side of the gear box. Unit is full if oil
is level with bottom of fill hole or just starts to run out.
Gear Hubs
Gear hubs – Item 5. To check and fill Gear hubs:
1. Rotate wheel until bottom of filler/drain plug is
about 1 inch above horizontal centerline.
2. Remove plug with drive ratchet and extension.
3. Fill until lubricant is level with bottom of fill hole.
Note
Do not overfill gear hubs as they are not vented and need
air space for expansion of oil to prevent damage to hubs.
Platform Rotator
Platform Rotator – Item 6. Platform rotators will require
lubrication only if disassembled for repairs. Consult
factory for proper lubricant if replacement of platform
rotator is required.
Hydraulic Oil Reservoir
Hydraulic oil reservoir – Item 7. The fluid level should
be visible in the bottom of the sight gauge and should
be checked with the machine in the stowed position.
