Gearbox

Can anyone tell me where to fill the gearbox oil and how to check the level? It has a drain plug but I can't find anywhere to fill it.
It has 9000 hours on and no history of ever having a gearbox/diff oil change.
It's an electric, sit on, pallet mover.
Model ESE 220.
Year of manufacture 2017.
Am I missing something?

Hi, you'll have to remove the drive motor to fill up the gearbox

I had the same question working on the front-drive gear box on an EKS110 order picker. I finally just pulled the motor out of the gear box, really quick and easy, just take notes, pictures, ect. on everything you unplug or remove.

if forced to guess the why, they ( ze germans) assume a. the oil will last longer than a customer will lease the unit for; b. no customer would choose to service it themselves when they could send the unit to a fully trained and authorized Jungheinrich service facility...

So they didn't think it would be worth it to put a fill-hole in the gearbox?

Hope your able to figure something out, good luck.

In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
