5.11 - STEERING, TRANSMISSION AND
AUXILIAIRY FUNCTIONS
Two circuits carry out the functions. One circuit carries out
transmission functions, the other carries out steering and
auxiliary functions.
5.11.1 - Change the transmission oil every 2000 hours
1. Do not drain until the transmission oil is hot.
2. Remove the drain plugs (Fig. 19) and the filler cap (Fig.
20).
3. Refit the drain plugs, then refill the transmission to the
correct level with an approved oil.
NOTE: Allow time for the oil to settle in the rear axle
and transmission before rechecking the level.
5.11.1.1 - Change the 150 micron suction strainer (Fig.
21) every 2000 hours
Release the three screws from the retainer plate, and ex-
tract and discard the strainer.
Fit the new strainer in its place. Fit the retainer plate and
tighten the three attachment screws.
5.11.1.2 - High pressure 10 micron filtering
400 hours the first time, then every 800 hours, replace
the high pressure filter element located on the right-hand
side of the housing (ref. 1, Fig. 22).
• Unscrew the filter body, pull out the filter element, allow
to drain fully, and discard it.
• Every 800 hours, or as necessary, replace the seal.
• Slide the new filter element onto the filter head.
To avoid contamination by foreign material (swarf,
sludge, etc.), do not completely remove the protective
plastic until the filter element is in place.
• Replace the filter body and screw hand tight until it
locks.
