4.8.2.e
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IN THE
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
The oil level in the hydraulic circuit must be checked
q
with cold oil and the machine positioned on a level sur-
face with the bucket resting on the ground.
Top up after stopping the engine and eliminating the re-
q
sidual pressures from the equipment circuit (by operat-
ing the controls more than once) and from the tank (by
slowly loosening the filling cap).
To check the oil level in the hydraulic circuit, open the rear
panel (see "3.5.2 REAR PANEL").
The oil level must be visible through the gauge (1) positioned
on the tank and must be included between the MIN. and MAX.
marks.
If the level is near the MIN. mark, top up through the filling
opening (2) with suitable hydraulic oil (see "4.3 FUEL, COO-
LANT AND LUBRICANTS").
IMPORTANT
When topping up, do not exceed the MAX. level.
q
This would damage the hydraulic circuit and make the
oil flow out.
If a constant or abnormal decrease in the oil level is ob-
q
served, thoroughly check the hydraulic circuit, the pi-
stons and the pump for leaks.
After topping up, tighten the hydraulic tank cap (2) thor-
q
oughly.
