Check Hydraulic Oil Level

Oil Type: SAE 20W-50 motor oil

1. Check the oil level when the unit is cold. The oil

 

should be up to the “FULL COLD” mark on the

 

transmission oil reservoirs (A, Figure 19). If the oil

B

is below this level proceed to step 2.

 

2. Before removing the reservoir cap, make sure the area around the reservoir cap and fill neck of the reservoir is free of dust, dirt and other debris. Remove the reservoir caps.

3. Add oil up to the “FULL COLD” mark.

4. Reinstall the reservoir cap.
