oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily
checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil
level that might indicate the presence of hydraulic
system problems.

then visually inspect the sight gauge located on
the side of the hydraulic oil tank. The hydraulic
oil level should be within the top 5 cm of the
sight gauge.
