Check the Hydraulic Oil Level
Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is
essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic
oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily
checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil
level that might indicate the presence of hydraulic
system problems.
1 Be sure that the axles are fully retracted and the
boom is in the stowed position.
2 Visually inspect the sight gauge located on the
side of the hydraulic oil tank. Add oil as needed.
Result: The hydraulic oil level should be within
the top 2 inches / 5 cm of the sight gauge.
