Check Transmission Oil Level - Bell B35E 6X6 ADT Operator's Manual

Check Exhaust Heat Shield
Build-up of combustible material on and around high
heat areas must be removed on a regular basis and
the machine cleaned to prevent build-up and igniting
of material. Critical areas are the areas around the
exhaust, turbo charger, between the cab and the
transmission cooler/exhaust silencer and the area on
top of the horizontal heat shield leading into the
silencer heat shield. It might mean that from time to
time the heat shields has to be removed by service
personnel to clean this areas properly.
If there is ANY build-up of combustible material on
and around high heat areas the machine must be
referred to the workshop for cleaning.
Area between the cab and the exhaust heat shield
and cab and hydraulic tank is a critical area.
The remaining areas around the exhaust silencer
are also critical areas.

Check Transmission For Oil Leaks
Check under the machine for oil leaks.

Check Transmission Oil Level

When any maintenance is to be carried out with the
engine running, the machine must still remain in the
service position as described in Service Instructions
and all procedures in Procedures Before Starting must
be followed.
The electronic method of checking the transmission
fluid level incorporates a fluid level sensor to
display the fluid level on the CDU.
The electronic method compensates for
transmission temperature between 65°C to 104°C
(149°F to 220°F). Any temperature below 65°C
(149°F) or above 104°C (220°F) will result in an
Invalid for Display condition.
The normal operating temperature of the
transmission fluid is 71°C to 93°C (160°F to 200°F),
measured at the transmission sump.
The following procedure must be used to check the
transmission fluid level using the push-button shift
selector: Ensure that the machine is parked on a
level surface and the park brake is applied.
Allow the engine to run at idle in N (Neutral).
Unscrew and remove the dipstick (1) from the tube
and wipe clean.
