MAINTENANCE Front Gearcase ADC Fluid 5. Begin the bleeding process by filling reservoir to the “MAX” level with clean ADC Front Drive Fluid. NOTE: It is important to follow the front gearcase maintenance intervals described in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Regular fluid level inspections should be performed as well. 2 The front gearcase ADC fluid level should be checked and changed in accordance with the maintenance schedule. Recommended ADC Fluid: Premium ADC Front Drive Fluid (PN 2876144) (Quart) Front Gearcase ADC Fluid Level Check The ADC fluid reservoir is located underneath the front rack as shown below.
Maintain the fluid level between the “MIN” and “MAX” levels indicated on the reservoir. 6. Locate bleeder valves found on each side of the front gearcase and remove the protective caps. Bleeder Valve Bleeder Valve Cap Cap 1. Disengage the anchors and remove front rack assembly. 2. Check the fluid level of the ADC reservoir. Front Gearcase 7. Attach a clean clear hose to one of the bleeder valves. 8. Slowly loosen the valve (counter-clockwise) and allow fluid and trapped air to flow from the fitting. IMPORTANT: Do not allow ADC fluid in reservoir to drop below the “MIN” fill line. Close bleeder valve before the fluid level drops below the “MIN” fill line.
Refilling an empty reservoir will result in air pockets becoming trapped. 3. If fluid level is below the minimum mark on the reservoir, remove the cap and add the recommended fluid. 4. Reinstall the cap and front rack assembly. 9. Close the valve when clean (bubble-free) fluid begins to flow from the valve. Front Gearcase ADC Fluid Change: 10. Repeat steps 7-9 on the remaining bleeder valve. 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface and allow the vehicle to sit for at least 30 minutes. 11. Torque the bleeder valves to specification and reinstall the protective caps. 2. Thoroughly clean the areas around the ADC reservoir and bleeder valves. 3. Remove the reservoir cap and diaphragm assembly.
Bleeder Valve Torque: 80 in. lbs. (9 Nm) 4. Make sure the fluid inside the reservoir is free of debris. If any debris is found, use a clean shop towel or suction device to remove it from the reservoir. 12. Fill reservoir to a level midway between “MAX” and “MIN” fill lines. Verify no debris is found in reservoir fluid. NOTE: Debris in the reservoir may result in inadequate bleeding and reduced performance of the system. 13. Install the reservoir cap and diaphragm securely and wipe clean any fluid residue. 2.19 = = T
