Notes:

• ◆ Vehicle must be standing on an absolutely flat surface for checking gear oil level. This is best done over an assembly pit or using a 4-column lifting platform.
• ◆ Prescribed oil level must be precisely maintained; gearbox reacts extremely sensitively to overfilling.
• ◆ On vehicles with gear oil cooling, a short test drive must be performed before checking gear oil level following gearbox repairs, gearbox replacement and work on gear oil pipes/cooler.

• ‒ → Screw out oil filler plug -B- (in front of flange shaft) to check gear oil level.
