Gearbox Oil Level
Before starting your machine for the first time,
make sure the gearbox has oil.
To check the gearbox oil level:
1. Using a 14mm wrench, remove the gearbox
fill plug (
Figure 9).
2. Using the short end of the 6mm hex wrench,
dip it inside the fill hole and remove it.
—If the end of the hex wrench is coated
with oil, then the gearbox oil level is okay.
Replace the fill plug and skip to the next
section.
—If the end of the hex wrench is not coated
with oil, then you need to add more oil.
Refer to
Page 23 for instructions on how
to do this.
