Checking and topping up oil for final drive

WARNING
Risk of scalding from hot oil
^ Let the oil cool down
^ Wear personal protective gear (goggles, gloves)






1. Unscrew oil filler plug.
The oil level is correct if transmission oil emerges. Continue with step 3.
If transmission oil does not flow out, the oil level in the final drive is too low. Continue with step 2.

Note: Filling must be carried out very slowly because there is dust plate in the cover of the final drive.

2. Fill in transmission oil up to the bottom edge of the filler opening.
3. Clean oil filler screw and screw in with new O-ring.





Subsequent work

1. Install support plate.
2. Lower the vehicle.
