SERVICE PROCEDURE

CHECK OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE OIL PAN, ADD OIL

1. Open the engine hood.
REMARK
Opening Engine Compartment Hood
Whenever access is required to the engine compartment via the
hood, always ensure that the work equipment is tipped as far for-
ward as possible.
This will ensure that the hoses mounted on the work equipment
do not impede the engine hood when it is opened/closed.
2. Remove dipstick (G) and wipe the oil off with a cloth.
3. Insert dipstick (G) fully in the oil gauge pipe, then take it out
again.
4. The oil level should be between the H and L marks on dipstick
(K). If the oil level is below the L mark, add engine oil through
oil filler (F).
For details of the oil to use, Refer to "USE FUEL, COOL-
ANT AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEM-
PERATURE (232)"
5. If the oil is above the H mark, drain the excess engine oil from
drain plug (P), and check the oil level again.
6. If the oil level is correct, tighten the oil filler cap securely and
close the engine hood.
REMARK
Ensure that the machine is level when checking oil level.
Allow the engine to cool before checking the oil level to
avoid burns by touching hot engine parts.
