Transmission Maintenance Schedule
Complete transmission maintenance information is
located in the appropriate Owners/Operators Manual.
• At ten hour intervals, check the transmission oil
level. (Refer to the appropriate Owners/Operators
Manual.)
• When the vehicle completes its first 50 hours of
use, change the transmission filter. Change the
filter only; DO NOT change the transmission oil
at the first 50 hour maintenance level. (Refer to
the appropriate Owners/Operators Manual.)
• At 1,000 hour intervals, change the transmission
oil and filter. (Refer to the appropriate Owners/

Periodically, depending on operating conditions and
other factors, back flush the transmission oil cooler,
which is part of the radiator. ALWAYS back flush the
transmission oil cooler after removing the transmission
for repair or replacement.
The transmission oil cooler outlet hose (Fig. 6-3, 1),
routed to the lower oil cooler fitting, is located on the top
of the transmission. The transmission oil cooler inlet hose
(2), routed to the upper oil cooler fitting, is located on the
top of the transmission. (Refer to Section 7.6.3, “Radia-

Disconnect and back flush the oil cooler portion of the
radiator with oil and compressed air until all foreign
material is removed. If necessary, remove the radiator
from the vehicle and clean the oil cooler circuit using oil,
compressed air and steam.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use flushing compounds for
cleaning purposes.
