Checking hydraulic oil level
1. Locate sight glass (A) on the right side of the hydraulic
fluid tank.
NOTE:
The sight glass allows the Operator to visually inspect the
oil level and its quality. The sight glass can be inspected
while the hood is closed.
2. Ensure that the hydraulic oil level is between the low and
the full indicator marks on the sight glass.
IMPORTANT:
If the oil is not visible in the sight glass, then the oil level is
below the ADD mark on the dipstick. This problem should
be addressed immediately.
3. If the hydraulic oil level is too low, add hydraulic oil to the
reservoir.

from entering the tank.
c.
Turn plug handle (B) counterclockwise until it is loose.
Pull the plug out.
d. Open breather cap (A).
e.
Add hydraulic oil through the filler plug until the level
in the tank is at the FULL indicator mark.
