BChecking Hydraulic Oil Level
To avoid personal injury:

checking the oil level.
A Before filling oil, wipe away all sand and dust from
around the oil port. Make sure to use an identical type
of hydraulic fluid.

before delivery. See "RECOMMENDED OILS".
(Do not mix different oils.)
1. Park the excavator on a firm, flat and level surface.
Lower the attachments and dozer blade to the ground
and stop the engine.
2. Check the oil level as to whether it lies on the center of
the gauge at normal temperature (10 to 30
3. Enough oil is present if the oil level lies near the center
of the gauge.
4. Should the oil level be too low, fill oil through the oil
port before starting the engine. This step is important
for the protection of the hydraulic system.
