Operating Instructions for K, T, TK & TA Series Transmissions
Since the K, T, TK and TA gear cases are designed to be driven by a PTO,
power divider, or directly by the engine crankshaft, refer to the instruction

Lubrication

An oil splash system, within the gear case, lubricates the gears and other
moving parts. Check oil level monthly by removing the square head pipe plug
on side of gear case marked OIL LEVEL. The oil should be level with the bot-
tom of the hole.
CAUTION
NOTICE
If oil level is low, locate the source of the leak and repair. If the
oil level is high, loosen the drain plug until the oil drops to the
proper level. If excessive water drains out, change the oil and
determine the source of the water leakage and repair.

CAUTION
Oil temperature hazard.
May cause premature seal wear and
Oil temperature should not exceed 250° for an extended period
of time in order to prevent seal wear and damage.
To add oil, remove filler plug or breather at top of gear case, and pour oil
through opening until oil comes out the oil level hole. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Use a SAE 80W-90 gear oil.
Drain gear case by removing magnetic drain plug from bottom, and refill with
new lubricant annually or after each 100 hours of operation, whichever
comes first. (Under severe service conditions, where pump has been
used continuously at high output, change oil more frequently.) The capacity
is approximately one quart. Be sure to clean drain plug and breather.
