3.38 CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL
Hydraulic fluid is toxic and can
therefore have a damaging effect on
your health.
Hence avoid any direct or indirect
physical contact.
As hydraulic fluid is also a corrosive
fluid, it may damage the paintwork of
the vehicle.
Avoid any contact between
hydraulic fluid and paintwork.
Always use new and clean hydraulic
fluid which has been kept in a sealed
container and meets the
specifications.
Hydraulic fluid which has absorbed
water (from the ambient air) may
have an adverse effect on the
operation of the clutch system.
Avoid any contact with mineral oil.
Even one drop of mineral oil in the
system will damage the seals.
1. Check that the fluid level is between the (A)
and (B) marks when the cab is in the driving
position.
2. Mark (C) applies to fully tilted cabs.
3. Hand tighten the reservoir sealing cap.
Note:
There is an air bleed vent in the cap that may
be closed if the cap is tightened with too
great a force.
If the air bleed vent is closed off, residual
pressure will build up in the system.
