Additional Notes

  • The Liebherr LHM 280-2 equipped with the MAN D 2842 LE engine carries a transfer case fluid capacity of 16 liters, which applies consistently across both the normal and initial service fill conditions.
  • Under normal use conditions, the transfer case fluid change interval is set at 2000 hours or 12 months, whichever comes first, reflecting a standard long-term maintenance cycle for heavy-duty crane operation.
  • The initial service interval for the transfer case is significantly shorter, at 500 hours or 3 months, a common practice in heavy machinery to flush out metal particles and contaminants generated during the break-in period of new or rebuilt components.
  • The ratio between the initial service interval and the normal interval is 1:4 in both hours and months, meaning the first fluid change arrives four times sooner than subsequent scheduled changes.
