2. Clean area around reservoir dipstick cap (A).
3. Remove dipstick cap (A). Wipe dipstick clean.
NOTE: Do not tighten dipstick cap when checking oil level.
4. Insert dipstick into reservoir filler neck (B). Do not tighten cap.
5. Remove dipstick. Check oil level on dipstick. Oil level should be in
crosshatch area between ADD and FULL marks.
• If oil is low, add oil to bring oil level no higher than FULL mark on
dipstick.
• If oil is above FULL mark, drain oil to proper level.
6. Insert dipstick. Tighten cap.

IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Check oil level in reservoir tank
when oil is cold.
Do not overfill oil reservoir tank. Oil will expand during operation
and could overflow.
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard
by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other
lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and
body from high pressure fluids.
Use caution when filling and draining hydraulic oil. During
periods of machine operation the hydraulic oil reservoir can
get hot. Allow engine and oil reservoir to cool before
servicing.
IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Contamination of hydraulic fluid
could cause transmission damage or failure. Do not open oil
reservoir cap unless absolutely necessary.
Severe or unusual conditions may require a more frequent
service interval.
