* - Capacities given are approximate, work to dipstick,
sight gauges or level plugs.
** - Refer to the 'Lubrication and Service Chart' for the
different applications. DO NOT use on the Articulation
bearings.
Note 1 - Operation below the minimum temperatures
listed for the oil used without proper pre-heat 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 - Consult your lubricant supplier for correct viscosity of lubricant when ambient temperatures are
consistently above or below those listed.

Note 2 - Hydraulic Transmission Oil meeting
Specification EMS19058 is also suitable for use in the
hydraulic system.
Note 3 - Axles have limited slip differentials. If use of a
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.
