E7 - FRONT AND REAR AXLE
PLANETARIES OIL
DRAIN
Park the telescopic handler on level ground with the
engine stopped and the planetaries still warm.
IMPORTANT:
Dispose of the drain oil in an eco-
logical manner.
- Drain and change both front axle plantaries:
• Place drain plug (1) (fig. E7) in position A.
• Place a container under the drain plug and
unscrew the plug.
• Let the oil drain fully.
• Place the drain port in position B, i.e., in a level
position.
• Fill with oil (see chapter: 6 - MAINTENANCE:
LUBRICANTS AND FUEL) by level port 1
(fig. E9).
• The level is correct when the oil level is flush
with the edge of the hole.
• Reinstall and tighten the drain plug (1) (fig. E7)
[tightening torque: 25 to 36 ft.-lbs. (34 to 49
Nm)].
• Repeat this operation on both rear axle plane-
taries.

- Fill with oil (see chapter: 6 - MAINTENANCE:
LUBRICANTS AND FUEL) at filler port (4) (fig.
E3/2).
- Observe the oil level on the site gauge (5) (fig.
E3/4); the oil level should be at the level of the cen-
ter point of the site gauge.
- Check for any possible leaks at the drain plug.
- Replace filler cap (2) (fig. E3/2) with a new filler
cap (see chapter: 6 - MAINTENANCE: FILTER
CARTRIDGES AND BELTS).
- Close the right side cover.
FILTERING OF THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
- Let the engine run (accelerator pedal at half throttle)
for five minutes without using any hydraulic func-
tions on the telescopic handler. Then run the engine
for five more minutes while using all hydraulic
functions (except the steering system).
- Accelerate the engine at full speed for one minute,
then operate the steering system.
- This operation makes filtering of the hydraulic cir-
cuit possible through the hydraulic return oil filter.
E6 - SEAT BELT
CHECK
SEAT BELT WITH TWO ANCHORING POINTS
- Check the following points:
• Tightness of the anchor points on the seat
• Cleanliness of the belt and the locking mecha-
nism
• Actuation of the locking mechanism
• Condition of the belt (cuts, curled edges)
RETRACTABLE SEAT BELT WITH TWO
ANCHOR POINTS
• The correct retracting of the belt
• Condition of the reel guards
• Roller locking mechanism when the belt is given
a sharp pull
WARNING
Under no circumstances should the telescop-
ic handler be used if the seat belt is faulty (not
latching, has cuts or tears, etc.). Repair or
replace the seat belt immediately.
