ENGINE OIL
OIL LEVEL-
The engine oil level dipstick is located on the
left-hand side of the engine (fig. 85-1). Never operate the en-
gine 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 the oil to drain to the oil
pan. Check the engine oil level daily.
CAPACITY–
Low to high mark capacity is 2.0 quarts. En-
gine oil lubricating system is 25 quarts. Change every 500
hours. Refill with 15W40 diesel engine oil.
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 sight gauge level on the hydraulic
oil reservoir (fig. 85-2) daily. Add just enough fluid so the level is
in the center of the sight gauge. Always check the hydraulic oil
level when it is cool. Hydraulic oil will expand when heated.
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.
NOTE:
CLEANLINESS STANDARD: Always make sure
area is clean before changing filter or hydraulic oil.
