2.Pull the engine oil dipstick from its holder, (Figure 7).
3.Determine if engine oil is low. Oil should be between the upper limit and lower limit (add oil) lines.
4.If oil is below the "Add Engine Oil" line add oil up to upper limit on the dipstick. Allow enough time for any added oil to make its way to the oil pan before rechecking.
CAUTION
DO NOT overfill the oil pan with engine oil. Always keep the engine oil level between the upper and lower limit lines on the dipstick.
Hydraulic Oil
1.Check the hydraulic oil condition through the sight glass (Figure 8) Replace hydraulic oil if dirty or if bubbles are present.

2.Determine if the hydraulic oil is low. The hydraulic tank has an elevated overflow bottle. DO NOT remove the fill cap when the oil is hot or spillage will occur.
CAUTION
Hydraulic oil can get HOT! ALWAYS allow hydraulic oil to cool before removing fill cap.
CAUTION
Removal of the fill cap when oil fills the sight glass will cause hydraulic oil to spill. Clean up hydraulic oil spills immediately.
3.To add hydraulic oil, remove fill cap on the hydraulic tank. Fill to overflow with hydraulic system cool. Use Chevron AW / MV ISO 68 or equivalent.
