6.7 Check the Hydraulic Fluid Level
Check hydraulic fluid level every 40 hours or weekly.
Check with the machine parked on level ground and the engine
stopped.
The proper level is when the oil is visible at the full (upper)
mark on the dipstick.
Figure 13 – Hydraulic tank fluid level dipstick
IMPORTANT! Do not operate machine if fluid level is not
visible on the dipstick. Damage to the pump and other
components can occur.
Do not overfill the tank past the full mark.
Always check fluid levels after changing filters or servicing
hydraulic components.
Hydraulic fluid quality should be inspected every 40 hours. If
the fluid is dirty or smells burnt, it should be replaced.
Be aware of high oil temperatures. Temperatures higher
than 180 °F (82 °C) could cause seal damage and degrade
oil quality.
6.7.1 Add Hydraulic Fluid
The hydraulic system uses Dexron® III ATF.
1. Clean the area around filler cap and remove it.
2. Use a clean funnel and add oil until the level is at the full
mark on the dipstick.
3. Install filler cap securely. Wipe up any spilled oil.
6.8 Check the Fuel Level
Check the fuel level daily.
Starting with a full tank helps to eliminate or reduce operating
interruptions for refueling.
The fuel tank is located on the engine. Avoid running the tank
dry.

6.8.1 Add Fuel to the Engine
Fuel tank capacity: 0.82 US gal (3.1 L).
Never smoke or vape while working
with fuel. Fuel vapors can explode
causing injury or death. Keep sparks,
fl ames, and hot components away.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the
engine inside a building where gasoline fumes can come in
contact with flames or sparks.
For fuel specification, see Fluids and Lubricants on page 33.
Refer to the engine manual for additional information on fuels.
1. Clean the area around fuel tank cap. Fill the tank to 1/2"
(12 mm) below bottom of filler neck to provide space for
any fuel expansion. Do not overfill.
2. Install fuel fill cap securely and wipe up any spilled fuel.
