MAINTENANCE
GEARBOX
The gearbox has been filled with lubricant to the test plug level prior to shipment. However, you should check
the oil level at test plug before operating, and frequently thereafter.
The gearbox should not require additional lubricant unless the box is cracked or a seal is leaking. It is
recommended that the oil fill plug be removed after every 8 to 10 hours of operation and oil added until it runs
out test plug hole. The test plug and fill plug locations are shown below in MntP-R-0024.
Required lubricant is NLGI 000 Grease (P/N 00765444). Gearbox capacity is 2 Quarts.
NOTE: Overfilling the Gearbox will cause pressure to build up and cause Oil Seals to leak.
ATTENTION: If the Gearbox suddenly starts making an unusual noise, stop at once, check for leaks, and refill
Gearbox as required.
TAIL WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Tail Wheel Bearings are packed at the factory with heavy-duty bearing grease. Grease Fittings are provided in
the Wheel Hub and Tail Wheel Beam. Grease after 10 hours of use. Mnt-R-0107.
