4. Apply a thin coat of clean transmission oil to the
gasket of the new filter element. Install the new
filter element by hand. When the gasket contacts
the filter mounting base, tighten the transmission
oil filter by an additional 3/4 turn.
5. Start the engine. Slowly operate the transmission
controls in order to circulate the transmission oil.
6. Move the transmission control to the NEUTRAL
position. Inspect the transmission oil filter for
leaks.
7. Check the transmission oil level.
Landfill Compactors are also equipped with an oil
level dipstick (1) that is located behind the operator’s
cab. Maintain the oil level within the “LOW” and
“FULL” marks when the engine is at low idle and the
oil is warm.
