LUBRICATION
Planetary
The planetary oil should be checked periodically. To check, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
POWER SUPPLY and remove the Drip Cup-Splash Guard. Oil should be even with the
bottom of the fill plug hole. If it is not, slowly add the recommended planetary lubricant
until it is. Replace the fill plug and the Drip Cup- Splash Guard.
A Drain Plug is located on the bottom of the planetary. Should draining become
necessary, remove the Drip Cup- Splash Guard and place a suitable catch pan under the
draining plug. Remove the drain plug, allow oil to completely drain, and replace the
drain plug. Remove the fill plug and pour in six fluid ounces of the recommended
planetary lubricant. Replace the Fill Plug and the Drip Cup-Splash Guard. Contact
Planetary Seal
Occasionally, the planetary seal may become dry and begin to squeak. To correct this,
work a little lubrication under the lip of the seal.
Transmission
The transmission oil should be even with the line on the Oil Level Gauge when the
motor is NOT running. If the oil falls below this line, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER
SUPPLY and remove the Top Cover, which is secured by two screws. Remove the
Transmission Fill Plug and add a small amount of the recommended transmission oil
until it returns to the proper level.
DO NOT overfill the transmission as leakage may result.
