Note 1
The reduction gears of these engines (on
engines
with
manual
type
reversing
gears), are lubricated from the main en-
gine oil supply and,
therefore, use the
same S.A.E. number of oil as the engine,
and do not have
to be separately lubri-
cated.
Note
2
The hydraulic reversing gear is entirely
self-contained
and
independent
of the
engine
oil pressure system
(sealed off
from engine
oil pressure
system).
Use
same S.A.E. number
oil as in the engine
of good
quality
non-foaming
type.
If
extreme
foaming
is encountered
due to
unusual installation
or operating
con-
ditions,
it will further reduce foaming
if type "A"
automatic
transmission oil
is used.
When engines have both hydraulic revers-
ing gear and reduction gear,
the reduc-
tion gear
is lubricated from the oiling
system of the hydraulic reversing
gear.
The oil level should be checked periodi-
cally by means
of the bayonet
dipstick
located
on the side at the
forward end
of the hydraulic reversing gear housing.
Oil level
shOi.lld be maintained
between
the marks on the bayonet dipstick.

Note
J
We do not recommend the use of heavy-duty,
high
detergent
oils
during
break-in.
These oils have such extremely good lub-
ricating
qualities
that
correct
and
thorough
break-in
is difficult
if not
impossible.
This is
particularly true
with respect to seating of piston rings.
We
recommend
the
use
of
a
straight
mineral
oil of S.A.E.
JO
weight during
the break-in period.
Most
oil companies
have now
adopted a
standard
system of
rating the
service
for which an
oil is intended.
In this
system an oil designated
for
ML
service
is a straight mineral oil without
addi-
tives
and intended
for light
service.
The heavy-duty,
high detergent oils are
deSignated
MS and DG
for severe
gaso-
line engine
service and
general diesel
service.
An oil designated
for
ML
ser-
vice
should
be
used
during
break-in
and
an
oil
deSignated
for MS
and DG
service used thereafter.
Avoid using any oil that does not
fically state the
service rating
can.
Watch the' oil level
gauge
oil pan and
always keep
the oil
the mark.
CAUTION
speci-
on the
in the
up to
Check the oil level
stick before start-
ing and
several times while
filling to
prevent
overfilling.
Keep
oil
level
to
the
full
mark
on
the
oil stick.
Amounts of
oil required
vary with
the
engine model and the
angle at which the
engine is mounted.
