gauge that shows the level of oil and the
temperature of the oil. When filling the tank
2/3 with oil, the window of the gauge will
also fill with oil, as the level gets higher in
the tank. Never fill the oil tank above the
BLACK line at the top of the gauge. Do not
run the machine with the oil level below the
RED line at the bottom of the gauge.

The machine is equipped with Citgo AW46
hydraulic oil at the time of manufacture.
Use the same or equivalent. NOTE: If
machine is ran in extreme climates you may
need to adjust the weight of the oil for the
machine to operate properly.
