IMPORTANT:
Do not start the engine when the transmission oil
level is low. Damage to the transmission may result.
Do not use transmission oils other than those listed
in the "Recommended Transmission Oil".
The cap of filler port (1) has the breather function.
Never spray high pressure water to the cap and
vicinity of the cap. Water may enter into the
transmission, damage to the transmission may
result.
Before starting the engine, check the transmission oil level
with oil level gauge (2). When the oil level is within range, the
float in the oil level gauge shall be in the center with the oil
cooled. Refill the oil as necessary from transmission oil filler
port (1).
When checking oil level before operating the machine,
normally the float in gauge (2) must be higher than the COLD
MIN position. In case the float is lower than the COLD MIN
position, add oil through transmission oil filler port (1).
When the transmission oil temperature is in the normal range
of 80 °C to 90 °C (176 to 194 °F), the float in the gauge (2) shall
be between the HI and the LO notches at the HOT scale on the
oil level indication decal. If the float is outside the appropriate
range, add or drain oil so that the float enters the range
between the HI and LO notches.
