Checking Gearbox oil level
1) The gearbox is fitted with a dipstick and oil filler plug,
see photo 20.
2) Each engine is supplied with a gearbox 'operators
manual' which specifies the type of lubricating oil to be
used, the capacity and frequency of changing of the oil.
3) New engines are normally supplied with the gearbox
topped up with lubricant but check the level before
starting the engine for the first time.
4) The oil can be changed via the drain plug at the bottom
of the box or sucked out with a hand pump via the filler
plug.
5) A guide to the type of oil to be used is as follows:
