8.2 Checking and changing lubricants<br />
8.2.5 Checking the oil quality<br />
Signs of changes in the oil can be seen with the naked eye. Fresh oil is clear to the eye and<br />
has a typical smell and a specific product color. Clouding or a flocculent appearance<br />
indicates water and / or contamination. A dark or black color indicates residue, serious<br />
thermal decomposition or contamination.<br />

3. Remove the sealing element at one of the points marked with the symbols listed above.<br />
4. Remove some oil, using a suction pump and a flexible hose, <strong>for</strong> example.<br />
5. Check the condition of the sealing ring on the sealing element and replace the sealing<br />
ring if necessary.<br />
6. Seal the gearbox with the sealing element.<br />
7. Check the oil <strong>for</strong> abnormalities. If you detect any abnormalities, change the oil<br />
immediately.<br />
