carrier to access the drain plug.
3. Remove the drain plug and drain out oil.
4. Reinstall the drain plug and blade carrier.
5. Remove the dipstick.
6. Fill gearbox until oil level reaches halfway up
the sight glass. Capacity is approximately 4.2
liters (4.4 qt.). Do not screw in dipstick when
checking oil level.
7. Reinstall vent plug/dipstick. Dispose of old oil
in accordance with the local regulations.
Replace oil in gearboxes after the first 50 hours of
operation then yearly.
Check gearbox oil level frequently. Steady loss of
oil will indicate damaged seals, which should be
replaced immediately to prevent ruining the
gearbox.
