Recommended Lubricants notes
* Capacities given are approximate,
work to dipstick, sight gauges or level
plugs.
** Refer to the 'Recommended
Lubricants Table' for the different
applications. DO NOT use on the
Articulation or Oscillation bearings.
Note 1 - Operation below the minimum
temperatures listed for the oil used
without proper preheat or warm-up
results in greatly reduced transmission
life. Proper warm-up requires 20
minutes minimum operation in neutral
(with engine at part throttle) before
operating the transmission in gear.
Note 2 - Hydraulic Transmission Oil
meeting Specification EMS19058 is
suitable for use in the hydraulic system.
Note 3 - Axles have limited slip
differentials. If use of standard SAE 90
oil results in very loud noise and jerking
of the wheels when driving slowly
round sharp corners, an EP oil with
limited slip additives should be used.
Note 4 - Automatic Transmission Fluids
(ATF) may only be used when the
ambient temperature is less than
- 10° C (14° F). Should the temperature
increase, it is necessary to switch to
engine oil.
