MAINTENANCE

GEARBOX

The gearbox should not require additional lubricant

unless the box is cracked or a seal is leaking. It is

recommended that the oil level plug be removed

after every 8 to 10 hours of operation and oil added

until it runs out Test Plug hole. The Test Plug is

located on the rear of the Gearbox. Filler Plug is

located on top of Gearbox.

The oil level is checked by removing the small plug

shown on the side of the outboard gearbox. The oil

should be level with the hole. The same is true for

the LH outboard gearbox (Not Shown).

The plug for the center gearbox is located on the

back of the gearbox.

The plugs on the top are breather plugs and it is

where you fill the boxes if needed.

Use EP80W-90 Gear Oil for all locations according

to instructions.

NOTE: Under no circumstances should the box be filled past the holes on the side of the boxes. Overfilling the

boxes could cause a buildup or pressure and blow out the seals.

ATTENTION: If the Gearbox suddenly starts making an unusual noise, stop at once, check for leaks, and refill

Gearbox as required.

Driveline Lubrication

Grease fittings are located on the Cross Assembly

of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes.

Grease the U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Do

not force grease through the Needle Cup

Assemblies. Grease the telescoping tubes after

every 8 hours of us. To grease profile tube,

disconnect drive from PTO and pull halves apart.

Pump grease into outer profile tube and reinstall

together. Lube Slide Collar weekly with WD40 or

equivalent weight oil.
