1.

Clean the drain plugs (B) and (C) and tighten 
them to the specified torque, see "Technical 
data".

2.

Top up oil through the level check/filling 
opening (A) until the oil reaches the rim of the 
filling opening.

3.

Fit the level check/filler plug (A), tightening it 
to the specified torque, see "Technical data".

4.

After filling take a short test drive. Do not 
activate the retarder during the test drive.

5.8 FILLING GREASE SUPPLY OF THE AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION SYSTEM

1.

Remove the dust cover from the filler 
coupling.

2.

Connect the filler hose to the filler coupling. 
Ensure that the filler hose is completely filled 
with grease so that no air bubbles can get 
into the system.

3.

Fill the reservoir to the specified maximum 
level.

Note:
When filling the reservoir, the air above the 
follower piston will escape. This air will flow 
down through an opening in the piston line 
and escape from the pump through the right-
angled coupling. Normally a small amount of 
grease will escape from this coupling during 
venting.

4.

Remove the filler hose from the filler 
coupling.
