Check Hydraulic Oil Level
1. Before removing the reservoir cap, make sure the
area around the reservoir cap and fill neck of the
reservoir is free of dust, dirt, or other debris.
2. Unscrew the reservoir cap (B, Figure 21).
3. Look down the filler neck of the hydraulic oil
reservoir (A, Figure 21) and observe the oil level.
When cold, the oil level should be approximately
4” (10 cm) below top of the filler neck.
4. If necessary, add either Mobil 1™, 15W-50
synthetic oil or Castrol Syntec™ 5W-50 oil. DO
NOT use conventional oils.
5. Reinstall the reservoir cap.
