CHARGING FULLY DISCHARGED BATTERIES.
When a machine is not in use for an extended period, the maintenance-free battery can become
discharged. For this reason, when a machine will not be used for over 30 days, it is recommended
that the negative ground terminal cable be disconnected. Prior to starting up a machine that has
been idle, always make a visual inspection of the battery and take an open circuit voltage test.
A reading of 1.23 [g/cm
3
] (75 % of full charge) or less indicates a state of discharge.
Check amount of charge of batteries:
100% of full charge
1.26 - 1.28 [g/cm
3
]
75% of full charge
1.23 - 1.25 [g/cm

]
50% of full charge
1.20 - 1.22 [g/cm

Fully discharged

5.11. ENGINE
WARNING! Wear hand and eye protection when draining hot fluids.
WARNING! Before servicing the engine, be sure the bucket is lowered to the
ground, the transmission direction lever is locked in neutral (N), the parking
brake is applied, electric system master switch is off, and the key removed. Tag
the machine.
5.11.1. CHECKING THE CRANKCASE OIL LEVEL
Check the crankcase oil level every day with dipstick (1, Fig. 5.16). In order to do this, lift the hood or
radiator grill (Fig. 5.48, 5.48A and 5.48B). Do not operate the engine if the oil level is below mark L
(low) or above mark H (high) on the dipstick (Fig. 5.17). Check the oil level before starting the
engine or at least after 15 minutes after stopping it. This allows the oil to drain back to the
crankcase.
IMPORTANT:
Park the loader on level ground for correct oil level reading.
