General Transmission Care

All SP2S13H20A model saws utilize spline gear wheel design
coupled with an EATON Model 7 Hydrostatic Transmission that
provides forward/reverse propulsion. The simple design of the
system keeps maintenance to a minimum.

Transmission Reservoir Cup:

Check every 8 hours of operation. When the transmission
is

cold

(A), check oil level against the level indicator (see

Figure 45).

Servicing:

The transmission reservoir is factory filled. Should servicing
be required, use SAE20W-20, API classification (SE,CC,CD)
or better, General Motors Dexron B, Ford M2C-33F, M2C-
41A or International Harvester Hy-Tran fluids. For extreme

hot weather

, drain oil and refill with an oil having a viscosity

of SAE30W-30 or SAE40W-40.

Drive Chain:

Check every 50 hours. Periodically wipe the chain clean and
re-lubricate with penetrating chain oil.

The drive chain may stretch requiring tension adjustments.
To adjust the drive chain tension:

1. Loosen the (3) transmission attachment screws (Hydrostatic.

Transmission Assy., item 2)

2. Pivot the transmission in the

“U” slots

of the

transmission

mount

until the proper tension is achieved (Hydrostatic

Transmission Assy., item 7).

MAINTENANCE

Spline Gear Wheels:

Check every 25 hours and clean as necessary. If the spline
wheels DO NOT engage the

rear

wheels

with sufficient

pressure, slippage of the rear wheels may occur.

To adjust the

Spline Gear Assembly

1. Place the

transmission engage/disengage lever

in the

DISENGAGE position (Figure 46) .

3. Loosen the linkage adjustment nut and slightly lengthen the

linkage rod (see Transmission Engage Lever Assy., items 11
and 13).

4. Move the

transmission engage/disengage lever

to the

ENGAGE position to observe the proper spline-to-rear wheel
contact.

5. Retighten the adjustment nut.

CAUTION

DO NOT use multiple viscosity oils! DO NOT OVERFILL.

NOTE

Excessive tension on the drive chain
will reduce chain life.
