vibrator Oil Level Check
NOTICE
ALWAYS clean the area around the vibrator oil level
check plug before removing oil check plug. This will
prevent dirt and debris from entering the system.
1. In every 100 hours of operation, with the machine
positioned horizontally, use a 3/4" (19 mm) wrench and
remove vibrator oil level guage/dipstick (Figure 30).
Visually inspect and see if vibrator oil level is up to
filler port. Be sure to clean area around check hole to
prevent dirt and dust from entering.

NOTICE
The oil fill gauge (dipstick) should be threaded down
completely when checking the oil level. Quickly inserting
and removing the dipstick from the reservoir will provide
inaccurate readings and possibly lead to overfilling the
exciter casing.
Overfilling the exciter casing will overload the engine
and adversely affect performance. dO nOT OveRFiLL
