Automatic Transmission Fluid

The transmission fluid level can be conveniently checked
using the dipstick located near the base of the driver step hand
rail.
All Kalmar tractors come with a Transmission Operator's
Manual provided by the manufacturer. This manual covers the
specific transmission in your vehicle. Refer to this
Transmission Operator's Manual for transmission fluid
requirements and service intervals.
Kalmar Solutions, LLC requires that the operator of any
Kalmar tractor comply with the transmission
manufacturer's transmission fluid requirements. Failure
to comply with the transmission manufacturer's
requirements for transmission fluid may void the warranty
on the transmission and cause severe transmission
damage and injury. Contact your Kalmar dealer if you did
not receive a Transmission Operator's Manual with your
new Kalmar tractor.

Axle Differential Lubricant

Axle lubricant requirements vary with make of axle and
customer requirements. Refer to the Axle Manufacturer's
Operator's Manual for required specifications and operating
information.
NOTICE
Synthetic gear lubricant is available as an option. Contact
your Kalmar dealer if you need more information.
NOTICE
Front axles equipped with optional "WET" wheel seals require
the lubricant described previously. They do not use the
lithium-based grease used on standard front hubs. The fluid
in these front hubs needs to be checked every 250 hours.

Coolant/Anti-Freeze

The cooling system of the new Kalmar tractor is filled at the
factory with the following solution:
50% ethyl-glycol heavy-duty anti-freeze with rust inhibitor, and
50% water. Coolant system additive must be aluminum-
compatible.
Proper level of fill for the cooling system is indicated by the
presence of coolant in the sight glass of the radiator top tank. It
is not necessary to fill the top tank to the filler neck.
A 50/50 mixture provides freeze protection down to –34°F
(–36.7°C) and maintains proper heat transfer properties. This
is the recommended solution mixture.
