Check the fuel system for leaks and the condition of
parts. Also check the condition of the radiator or heater
hoses that are not leaking. Soft or cracked hoses need to
be replaced before a major leak occurs.
Hydraulic System (See FIGURE 9.)
WARNING
At operating temperature the hydraulic oil is HOT.
Do not permit the oil to touch the skin and cause a
burn.
CAUTION
Do not permit dirt to enter the hydraulic system
when the oil level is checked or the filter is changed.
Never operate the hydraulic pump without oil in the
hydraulic system. The operation of the hydraulic
pump without oil will damage the pump.
Check the hydraulic oil level when the oil is at operating
temperature, the carriage is lowered and the engine is
stopped. Add hydraulic oil only as needed. If more hy-
draulic oil is added than the “FULL” level, the hydraulic
oil will leak from the breather during operation.
Check the hydraulic system for leaks and damaged or
loose components.
