Fluid Levels

Check Engine Oil Level

1. Use the dipstick (A, Figure 10) to check the engine
oil level. If necessary add engine oil. Check engine
manufacturer's owner's manual for oil recommendations.

Check Hydraulic Oil Level

NOTE: Do not open the hydraulic reservoir unless oil is being
added.
1. Before removing the reservoir cap, make sure the area
around the reservoir cap and fill neck of the reservoir is
free of dust, dirt, or other debris.
2. Unscrew the reservoir cap (B, Figure 11).
3. Look down the filler neck of the hydraulic oil reservoir
(A, Figure 11) and observe the oil level. When cold, the
oil level should be approximately 4" (10 cm) below top
of the filler neck.
4. If necessary, add SAE 20W-50 motor oil. DO NOT use
synthetic oils.
5. Reinstall the reservoir cap.
Check Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and
maintained at the levels shown in the chart. Note that these
pressures may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation"
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown
provide proper traction, improve cut quality, and extend tire
life.
