Hydraulic Fluid Level

The fill lines on the reservoir indicate the proper level of
hydraulic fluid in the reservoir (refer to Figure 5.3).
Maximum Level
Minimum Level
Figure 5.3 – Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir
Open the hydraulic tray and check the fluid level with
the aerial platform in the stowed position. Otherwise, the
cylinder acts as a large reservoir for hydraulic fluid making
the level appear too low. The fluid should be between the
minimum and maximum fill lines.
