Changing Rear Axle Lubricant
Rear axle lubricant should be changed every 800 hours
of operation. There are 3 separate oil reservoirs (axle
support, right gear case, and left gear case) that require
draining and refilling with SAE GL-5 80W90 gear lube.
1. Position machine on a level surface.
2. Clean area around the drain plugs.
3. Remove plugs allowing oil to drain into drain pans
(Fig. 4).
4. After oil is drained, apply thread locking compound
to all drain plug threads and reinstall.
5. Remove axle support check/fill plug. Add enough lu-
bricant to bring the level up to the bottom of the plug hole
(Fig. 5).
6. Remove the gear case check plug and one of the
knuckle arm bolts from each gear case. Add enough lu-
bricant through knuckle arm hole to bring the oil level up
to the bottom of the plug hole (Fig. 6).
7. Install all plugs and bolts.
