Gearbox Oil Level - Grizzly G1033X Owner's Manual

Gearbox Oil Level

Before starting your machine for the first time,
make sure the gearbox has oil. the proper oil
level is just even with the bottom of the fill plug
hole. the gearbox uses 80W-90W gear oil.
To check the gearbox oil level:
1. Using a 14mm wrench or socket, remove the
gearbox fill plug (figure 11).
figure 11. gearbox fill plug location.
-18-
2.
Using the short end of a clean 6mm hex
wrench, dip it inside the fill hole and remove
it.
—if the end of the hex wrench is coated
with oil, then the gearbox oil level is okay.
replace the fill plug and continue with set
up.
—if the end of the hex wrench is not coated
with oil, then you need to add more oil.
refer to Page 28, "gearbox" for instruc-
tions on how to do this.
Note: Replace the gearbox oil after the first 20
hours of operation. This is a normal break-in pro-
cedure.
