DRIVING PREPARATION AND MAINTENANCE
Prior to the commissioning of the transmission, take care that the prescribed oil grade will be filled
in with the correct quantity. At the initial filling of the transmission has to be considered that the oil
cooler, the pressure filters as well as the pipes must get filled with oil.
According to these cavities, the quantity of oil to be filled in, is greater than at the later oil fillings in
the course of the usual maintenance service.
※
Because the converter and the oil cooler, installed in the vehicle, as well as the pipes can empty at
standstill into the transmission, the oil level check must be carried out at engine idling speed
and operation temperature of the transmission.
At the oil level check, the vehicle has to be secured against rolling by blocks, articulated
