Oil level Power Trim
Trim the drive in as far as possible. Check the oil level
is between the MAX and MIN markings on the oil con-
tainer. Top up if necessary using ATF oil. Cleanliness
is extremely important, no dirt must get into the drive
when topping up with oil.
If the system has been drained, fill with new oil and trim
the drive in and out 6–10 times to vent the system.
Check the oil level and top up if necessary.
Checking the universal joint bellows

must be changed if there are any visible cracks or oth-
.
er defects.
The joint boot should be renewed every 200 operating
hours. The drive must be dismantled from the suspen-
sion fork in order to change the joint bellows. Dismant-
ling the drive requires knowledge and special tools.

the drive from falling down. Fit the tool as follows: Trim
out the drive to max and apply the special tool.

change if necessary.
