p/n: 029-0020-61-0
Have clean disposable shop
rags and oil dry handy and a
suitable container to collect
the fluid.
2. If the oil appears white or
“milky,” a water leak is indi-
cated.
Remove the DRAIN plug and
drain the oil into a suitable
container. Examine the oil for
metal flakes or other contami-
nation.
Note: If water leak / contamination
is suspected, see heading “Trouble-
shooting” on page 49.
3. Add fresh oil through the oil FILL port until oil reaches the bottom of the hole
(just begins sweeping out of the hole). DO NOT OVERFILL. (See Figure 4-
2: “Typical Pedestal Oil Servicing.”) Pedestal reservoir holds approximately
three (3) pints (1.4 liters) of approved SAE EP90 oil or equivalent.
4. Replace the oil FILL plug securely, using suitable thread sealant, and run
the pump for a short period, then recheck the oil level.
Check / Add Engine Fluids
To meet various shipping regulations, oil and water / antifreeze are drained from
the engine crankcase and radiator prior to shipping from the factory. The bat-
tery is also drained. At installation and before operating the first time, oil, water
/ antifreeze, etc. must be added to the appropriate levels.
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s operation and maintenance manuals pro-
vided with this system for FILL procedures, fluid capacities and types.
Relief Valve Test
When the relief valve is not in operation, keep the hand wheel set above the
normal operating pressure. (See Figure 3-2: “TPM / PMD Relief Valve Control”
on page 51.)
1. Prepare to pump from the onboard water tank, having the discharge flow
directed back to the water tank.
