Remove the drain plug (1) from the gearbox

oil sump.

4.

Remove the oil filters (2), see chapter

"Removal and installation".

Check that the oil level reaches the "Cold

full" mark.

Note:

To take the dipstick from the holder, the

sealing cap must be held tightly while the

dipstick is turned anti-clockwise.

5.

see chapter "Inspection and adjustment".

5.8 FILLING GREASE SUPPLY OF THE AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION SYSTEM

1.

Remove the dust cover from the filler

coupling.

2.

Connect the filler hose to the filler coupling.

Ensure that the filler hose is completely filled

with grease so that no air bubbles can get

into the system.

3.

Fill the reservoir to the specified maximum

level.

Note:

When filling the reservoir, the air above the

follower piston will escape. This air will flow

down through an opening in the piston line

and escape from the pump through the right-

angled coupling. Normally a small amount of

grease will escape from this coupling during

venting.

4.

Remove the filler hose from the filler

coupling.
