8. Check the fluid level while the fluid is warm.
Note: If required, add fluid to the reservoir until it is
between the hot level and the cold level.
Note: The fluid level should be below the hot level of
the baffle when the fluid is warm

WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin,
it must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this type
of injury. Gangrene may result if this is
not done.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject
high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
• Make sure all hydraulic-fluid hoses are in
good condition, and all that the hydraulic
connections and fittings are tight before
applying pressure to hydraulic system.
