3.20. Check of level of the RKPP gearbox oil (each 24 000 km of a run or time in 12 months)

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. The case RKPP is not equipped with the measuring probe. Level of gearbox oil in the transmission is checked by a reversing of a control/jellied stopper from a case sidewall (see an accompanying illustration). Find a stopper on the right side of RKPP and carefully wipe it and the case surface surrounding it with pure rags. Turn out a stopper – the level of gearbox oil in a case has to reach the lower cut of a control/jellied opening, otherwise it is necessary to make the corresponding adjustment. If the car is lifted for ensuring access to RKPP case before getting under it make sure of reliability of fastening of props.


The car has to be installed strictly horizontally.


2a. In case of need, through the same opening add necessary amount of oil of the required grade in RKPP case – use a funnel (see accompanying illustrations).

2b. Level can be considered normalized when oil begins to follow a thin stream from an opening.

3. Screw a stopper into place and strongly tighten it. Make short trial runs of the car after which make sure of lack of leak of oil through a stopper.
