Fluid Levels

Check the Engine Oil Level

1.Use the dipstick (A, Figure 11) to check the engine oil level. If necessary add engine oil. Check the engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for the oil recommendations.

Check the Hydraulic Oil Level

NOTE: Do not open the hydraulic reservoir unless oil is being added.

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

2.Unscrew the reservoir cap (B, Figure 12).

3.Look down the filler neck of the hydraulic oil reservoir

(A) and observe the oil level. When cold, the oil level should be approximately 4” (10 cm) below top of the filler neck.

4.If necessary, add SAE 20W-50 motor oil.

5.Reinstall the reservoir cap.

Check Tire Pressures

Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained at the levels shown in the chart. Note that these pressures may differ slightly from the “Max Inflation” stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown provide proper traction, improve the cut quality, and extend the tire life.

Tire	Pressure
Front	25 psi (1,72 bar)
Rear	15 psi (1,03 bar)
