Transaxle Fluid Level Check
1.
Check the transaxle fluid level with:
•
Truck on a level surface.
•
Engine idling w/transmission in NEUTRAL.
•
Oil at operating temperature.
2. Check the PM time interval (operating hours), or
the condition of the oil to determine if the
transaxle fluid needs to be changed.
Refer to Section 7.1, Transaxle maintenance: Fluid and
Filter Change, for further information.
Transaxle Fluid Change
It is recommended to:
•
Drain and replace the transaxle fluid every
1000 operating hours.
•
Drain the oil when it is warmed to
operating temperature.
Refer to Section 7.1, Transaxle maintenance: Fluid and
Filter Change, for further information.
Transaxle Oil Filter Change
•
Replace the transaxle oil filter every 500
operating hours. See CAUTION below.
When the transaxle is new or rebuilt, it is recommended
to change the oil filter after the first 50 hours and again
after 100 operating hours. This is to be sure that the oil is
cleaned of all harmful particles which may be loosened
or flushed off new parts as they wear in. Failure to
change the oil filter may result in damage to transaxle.
Refer to section 7.1, Transaxle Maintenance: Fluid and
Filter Change, for further information.
Truck Chassis Inspection and Lubrication
Do not raise truck by lifting under the counterweight. Be
sure to put blocking under the frame to keep the truck
safe.
NOTE
Lubrication and inspection of truck chassis components,
including steer wheels, steer axle linkage, steering
cylinder, and wheel bearings will be easier if the truck is
raised and blocked up under the frame.
Refer to Section 3.3, Machine Jacking and Blocking, for
additional information.
1.
Inspect the steering cylinder piston rod, seals,
and fasteners for damage, leaks, and looseness.
2.
Lubricate the steer axle linkage: rod ends and
linkage pivot points. Be sure to clean the grease
fittings before lubricating and remove the excess
grease from all points after lubricating.
3.
Lubricate miscellaneous linkage, as needed.
