Maintenance
1. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean towel.
2. Insert the dipstick without turning it in.
3. Remove the dipstick and observe the fluid level on the dipstick. The fluid level must be between the minimum and
maximum marks. Add fluid if necessary, but do not overfill.
4. Install the dipstick and tighten the T‑handle securely. Do not overtighten.
Checking the Fluid Level When Hot
The process for checking the fluid level when hot is the same as checking the fluid level before operation.
