SERVICE PROCEDURE

CHECK OIL LEVEL IN HYDRAULIC TANK, ADD OIL

When removing the oil filler cap, oil may spurt out, so
●
turn the cap slowly to release the internal pressure
before removing the cap.
If oil has been added to above the H mark, stop the
●
engine and wait for the hydraulic oil to cool down, then
drain the excess oil from drain plug (P).
1. If the work equipment is not in the condition shown in the dia-
gram on the right, start the engine run the engine at low
speed, retract the arm and bucket cylinders, then lower the
boom, set the bucket teeth in contact with the ground, and
stop the engine.
2. Check sight gauge (G). The oil level is normal if between the
H and L marks.
REMARK
Do not add oil if the level is above the H line. This will damage
the hydraulic equipment and cause the oil to spurt out.
3. If the level is below the L mark, remove cap (F) from the
hydraulic tank and add oil.

●
(Oil temperature 10 to 30°C)
