Inspection requires checking for visible signs of oil leakage, draining, replacing, and
adding oil to ensure appropriate oil level requirements. Excessively dirty oil will require
fresh oil replacement. If oil leakage is found to be excessive, refer to appropriate trou-
bleshooting information and perform applicable corrective action. Periodic inspection
procedures can be less frequent after first or second scheduled inspections.
Initial oil change requirements include flushing gear boxes with a standard cleaning
agent.
