Hydraulic System Maintenance

Never use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks; use a piece of paper or cardboard to
find leaks. Escaping fluid under pressure can be
invisible and can penetrate the skin, causing
serious injury. If any fluid is injected into your
skin, see a doctor at once. Injected fluid MUST
be surgically removed, or gangrene may result.

Checking Hydraulic Oil Level

Check the hydraulic oil level daily before starting
the machine, or after every ten hours of use.
1. Perform the "Mandatory Safety Shutdown Pro-
cedure" on page 16.
2. Wait until the engine has cooled. See
"Maintenance and Service Safety Practices" on
page 21.
3. Open the engine cover "Engine Access" on
page 103.
4. Check the level of the hydraulic oil in the sight
gauge (Y, Fig. 98) located in the right engine
compartment wall. The oil level be in the middle
of the sight gauge (A).
