LUBRICATION •
Lube Type - HYDO
Lube Amount - Capacity - 37.9 liters (40 quarts)
Lube Interval •
Check fluid level every 10 hours or daily with the engine running at 800 rpm and the oil at 82 to 93 °C (180 to 200 °F)
•
Drain and refill every 1000 hours or 6 months with the oil at 65 to 93 °C (150 to 200 °F)
•
Change transmission filter after the first 50 and 100 hours of service, then every 500 hours thereafter.
To add fluid:
Application - Fill surge tank to bottom of filler neck with mixture of 50% AFC and 50% water. Run engine through two (2) thermal cycles. Check coolant level and refill as required. 29. Coolant Strainer (Cab Heater Supply) Close the shutoff valves. Unscrew the hex plug and clean the strainer screen after first 100 hours of use and every 2000 hours or 12 months thereafter. 30. Driveline Slip Joints
a.
Fill to FULL mark on dipstick.
b.
Run engine at 800 rpm to prime torque converter and lines
c.
Check oil level with engine running at 800 rpm and oil at 82 to 93 °C (180 to 200 °F). Add oil to bring oil level to FULL mark on dipstick.
NOTE:
Drain and refill cooling system every 2000 hours or 12 months.
When checking the oil level, the oil temperature must be stabilized at 82 to 93 °C (180 to 200 °F) to properly check the oil level. Do not attempt an oil level check with cold oil. To bring the oil temperature to this range, it is necessary to either work the crane or stall the converter. Converter stall should be accomplished by engaging the shift lever in forward high range with the brakes applied and then accelerating the engine to half or three-quarter throttle. Hold the stall until the desired converter temperature is reached and stabilized.
CAUTION Full throttle stall speeds for an excessive length of time will overheat the converter and cause serious damage.
