Chaincases
There is a chaincase on each side of the loader. Refer to the Maintenance
Interval Chart (page 71) for change intervals. Refer to the "Lubrication"
topic (page 49) for information on oil type and quantity.
Checking and Adding Oil
1. Park the loader on a level surface. Stop
the engine.
2. Remove the check plug from each
chaincase housing. The oil level should
be at the plug level or no more than 1/4"
below.
3. If the level is low, add fluid through the
fill plug until the oil level reaches the
edge of the check plug hole. Reinstall
the plugs.
Draining Oil
1. Park the loader on a level surface or on a
sloping surface with the loader facing
uphill.
2. Remove the drain plug on each
chaincase and drain the oil into a
suitable container.
3. Reinstall and tighten the drain plugs.
4. Refill the chaincases at the fill plugs
located under the cover at the front of the
loader.
