Checking the Rear Axle
Lubricant
The rear axle is shipped from the factory filled with SAE
85W-140 wt. gear lube. Check the oil level before the
engine is first started and every 400 hours thereafter. The
capacity is 80 oz. (2.4 l). Visually inspect for leaks daily.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove a check plug from one end of the axle (Fig. 8)
and make sure that the lubricant is up to the bottom of
the hole. If the level is low, remove the fill plug (Fig. 8)
and add enough lubricant to bring the level up to the
bottom of the check plug holes.
