7. Hydraulic oil level
Hydraulic oil tank filler is located on the front of the boom,
under a hatch.
Hydraulic oil level can be checked with the dipstick in
the filler. Lock the boom with the boom service support
to access the filler opening. Do not let any contaminants
enter the hydraulic oil tank when you open the filler cap.
Remember to use the service support
(page 28)
The oil level should be approximately at the lower mark of
the dipstick (1) when the loader boom is up.
Tighten the dipstick on its threads for measurement. Refill
when necessary, but never exceed the upper limit mark
(2). Overfill can cause oil to overflow when lowering the
boom.
1 Target marker. Fill to this
mark when hydraulic system
is cold.The area highlighted
in the adjacent figure shows
approximately the acceptable
level.
2 The second mark on the
dipstick indicates the max
level of hydraulic oil. Oil can
reach this level when the
hydraulic system is hot.
Never overfill the hydraulic oil
tank. Oil can flow over, or foam
inside the tank.
There is a breather filter inside
the dipstick cap which should
be cleaned or changed once a
year.
