NOTE:
The engine must be level when checking the oil
level to make sure the measurement is correct.
Hydraulic Oil Reservoir
OIL LEVEL - Check the hydraulic oil level in the reservoir
daily (fig. 8.2). Add just enough fluid so the level reaches the
bottom tip of the dipstick. Always check the hydraulic oil level
when it is cool. Hydraulic oil will expand when heated in a
system and measuring the reservoir by these levels allows for
expansion.
TYPE - Premium hydraulic fluids containing high quality rust/
oxidation/and foam inhibitors are required. Hydraulic oil must
conform to one of the following types: anti-wear hydraulic oil,
type F automatic transmission fluid, or agricultural hydraulic
transmission fluid. Replace the oil in the hydraulic reservoir at
500 hours or at the beginning of each spraying season,
whichever comes first.

Engine oil
OIL LEVEL - The engine oil level dipstick is located on the
left-hand side of the engine (fig. 8.1, item 1). Never operate the
engine with the oil level below the “L” (low) mark or above the
“H” (high) mark. Wait at least five minutes after shutting off the
engine to check the oil level; this allows time for the oil to drain
to the oil pan. Check the engine oil level daily.
CAPACITY - Low to high mark capacity is 2.0 quarts.
Engine oil pan capacity is 15 quarts. Refer to Engine Operation
and Maintenance manual for maintenance schedule.
