3.Rotate the oil drain holes (1, Figure 19) on the wheel hubs so they are positioned at the bottom as shown in the figure. Allow the oil to completely drain from the hubs.

4.Rotate the holes on the wheel ends so they are positioned to the side as shown in Figure 20.

5.Add oil through the holes to the level line (2) stamped on the hub and shown in Figure 20. See “Fluid Capacities/Lubricants” on page11 for the specific oil type and grade.
