Check the hydraulic fluid

Do this task when the pump is not operating.

Look through the sight gauge to see the color of the hydraulic fluid. Good hydraulic fluid is
almost transparent.

Remove the filler cap.

Smell the hydraulic fluid. Good hydraulic fluid has almost no odor.

Install the filler cap.

Replace the hydraulic fluid:

• every 3,000 hours.

• if it is dark or milky in color.

• if it has a strong odor.

• if a test laboratory finds the quality is unsatisfactory.

Refer to

Replace the hydraulic fluid

on page 86.

CAUTION

Heat and other conditions cause hydraulic fluid to degrade. Degraded hydraulic fluid can
cause damage to hydraulic components.

Collect a sample of hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid tank and send it to a test
laboratory for analysis.

Refer to

Hydraulic fluid

on page 136 for recommended limits.

Contact a hydraulic fluid supplier for a precise report about your hydraulic fluid quality.
