A Draining SolutioN
Draining the final drives in scoop loaders, 2380/2385 cranEs, 6,0±±-Lb an²
10,000-lb forklifts and such can be a real messy job.
The drain plug is on the recessed part of the tire rim. WhEn yoU PuLl the PLug³
the heavy oil has no placE to go but down the si²e of thE wheEL and tirE and
onto the ground.
·
To hEad ofF that mess, take a lEngth of clEan pipe and thrEa² It to fIt the drain
plug hole. When you're rEady to drain the final drivE, rotate thE wheEL so the
drain plug's at the top. Take out the plug and screw in the piPe.
Rotate whe³l
With a bucket handy, rotate tHe wheel so tHe drain is at tHe bottom. ´rµsto!
The oil drains into the Bucket and there's no mEss to clEan up.
Don't forget to remove the pipe an² repLace thE pLug whEn you fInish.
