WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
The gear oil is very hot after the machine has been
operating. Shut all systems down and allow them to cool.
Before removing the motor case, loosen the plug slightly to
allow pressurized air to escape. Residual pressure in the
travel reduction gear can cause the plug to be dislodged
and oil to squirt out suddenly.
