CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IN THE HYDRAULIC TANK AND TOPPING UP
WARNING
q
Carry out this check when the oil is cold, with the machine positioned on level ground, bucket and arm
cylinders retracted and bucket teeth resting on the ground.
q
Before topping up, stop the engine and eliminate the residual pressure from the equipment circuits (by
shifting the controls more than once) and from the tank by slowly loosening the filling cap.
1.
If the work equipment is not in the conditions shown in the di-
agram on the right, start the engine and run it at high idling
speed, retract the arm and bucket cylinders completely and
lower the boom until the bucket teeth touch the ground. Stop
the engine.
2.
Open the engine hood and the radiator cover. For details,
see paragraph "3.2.7 RADIATOR COVER"
3.
Make sure that the oil level is included between the H and L
marks on the sight gauge (G).
IMPORTANT
q
Do not exceed the max. level mark (H). This would damage
the hydraulic circuit and cause the oil to overflow.
q
If too much oil is added and this exceeds the level (H) on
the gauge, turn the turret so that the drain plug (P) is posi-
tioned between the tracks, stop the engine, wait for the hy-
draulic oil to cool down and drain the excess oil through
the drain plug (P).
4.
If the oil level is below the L mark, remove the filler cap (F)
and top up using the oil recommended in the lubricant chart
(see "4.4 FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS").
NOTE
q
The oil level varies according to its temperature. Then keep to
the following instructions:
Before operation: near level (L)
(Oil temperature ranging from 10°C to 30°C)
Normal operation: near level (H)
(Oil temperature ranging from 50°C to 80°C)
