Warning: Use a Good Quality grease containing at least 5-6% Molybdenum by volume. Lubriplate #176 is recommended.

Cleaned the areas around the grease nipples and output plugs?

Removed the white plastic caps and opened at first one output screw plug?

Started the refill at both grease nipples for two sections per half-circle, with standard grease?

Lubricated with hand grease gun until grease squeezes out with thumb width from the output opening for every lubricating process?

Cleaned this output and closed the opening with screw plug and plastic cap?

Opened the opposite output plug and repeated the procedure on the other half-circle?

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

The gearbox & cooler drain can be accessed through the removable access panel located under the engine.

Check for signs of contamination in the oil being drained from the gearbox.

To speed up the draining process, remove the top cooler loop return line. See figure 30.

Has the oil been completely drained?

Re-connect lower loop line to the check valve, re-install drain plug, but leave the top cooler return line unhooked.

Fill the gear box using the fill plug shown in figure 29.

Turn key switch to the “on” position, “DO NOT START THE ENGINE” Push fill pump switch (figure 29) to activate cooler loop pump and run until clear oil is being pushed out the top cooler loop return line.

Warning: This procedure should be performed by trained personnel only.

Any signs of oil contamination?

Describe the contamination (if any)

Notice: The drive shaft u-joints and carrier bearings should be lubricated daily if the machine is working in very damp conditions or the drive shaft is submerged in water or mud during operation. Greasing daily will help keep water out of these joints.

Each U-joint in the driveline assembly is equipped with a grease point

Most grease fittings can be reached easily from either the upper or lower access areas

In some installations a small greaseline must be used to allow remote access to the fitting

When required, a pillow block style carrier bearing is used to support longer driveshafts

These carrier bearings are also equipped with grease points

Carrier bearings will usually have a remote grease point to allow easy greasing

Use a good quality lithium based driveline grease such as Alithicon M-888

Warning: Do not bypass, remove or tamper with the Arming / Door Switch interrupt system. Serious personal injury could occur while operating the machine with the cab door open.

All machines are equipped with a Arming / Door Switch interrupt system that only allows operation of the machine when the cab door is closed and the arming switch is depressed.

A normally-open electrical switch is located at the base of the cab door. When the cab door is open, operation of all machine controls is blocked by the IQAN control system.

Is the arming switch depressed?

Is the operation of all machine controls blocked when the cab door is open?
